Message from the President of TELUS Consumer
Solutions
At TELUS, we are dedicated to building strong, healthy communities. As
part of our commitment to a healthier Canada, we are proud to support the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and the fight to find a cure.
Diabetes is a cause that is very important to our company and our team members. In
support of our philosophy to give where we live, the TELUS team has raised more than
$4.4 million for JDRF through team member fundraising and corporate donations over the
past five years. Last year at the TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes, we had more than 3,750
TELUS team members, alumni, friends and family walking in 49 communities across the
country, and together we raised more than $420,000. Through spirited teamwork we are
committed to making this year even better.
On behalf of the TELUS team, we are excited to walk again with you this year. Together, we
are making a difference and taking great strides towards finding a cure for diabetes.

The TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes is a great event that allows

to fund research leading to cures and treatments for those living with diabetes.
This fundraising guide will help your campaign for 2010, and is also available at
www.jdrf.ca/walk/fundraisingtools. To start, you can sign up online and begin building
your team. There are also useful online fundraising tools available to help you reach out to
friends, family, and colleagues to ask for their support to take you one step closer to meeting
your goal. To learn more about the resources available, we encourage you to visit

TELUS Walk to Cure
Diabetes
The TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes is a
powerful fundraising event for families,
friends, and businesses in communities
across Canada. The TELUS Walk is an
annual celebration of one day living in a
world free from insulin injections, finger
pokes, and the constant threat of developing
complications. It raises awareness of
type 1 (juvenile) diabetes, and, crucial funds
for research into cures, treatments, drugs
and therapies.
Each year, this event attracts over 45,000
Canadians who are dedicated to finding a
cure for diabetes as they walk, share stories,
have fun and connect at over 70 sites across
the country.
Raising funds for the TELUS Walk to Cure
Diabetes is easy; ask friends, relatives,
co-workers, and neighbours to pledge you
and/or your team. For fundraising ideas, or to
pledge a participant, visit www.jdrf.ca/walk.
Dedicated to Finding a Cure
and Improving Life with
Diabetes
JDRF is the leader in setting the agenda
for type 1 diabetes research worldwide,
and is the world’s largest charitable funder
and advocate of diabetes science. Our
mission is to find a cure for diabetes and
its complications through the support of
research.
Founded by families in 1974, JDRF is
passionate about our commitment to raising
funds to drive world class research for a
cure for type 1 diabetes. Our progress in
research towards a cure, plus advancements
in science and management tools, have
improved the lives of children and adults
living with this complex disease.
JDRF effectively directs resources to
research, taking scientific developments
and translating them into treatments, drugs
and therapies. JDRF is filling the gap
between our academic partners and leading
pharmaceutical partners. The Foundation is
increasingly focused on providing immediate
support for people living with diabetes.

What is type 1 (juvenile)
diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is a non-preventable,
autoimmune disease in which the body’s
immune system attacks and destroys the
insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. It is
the most severe form of diabetes, striking
children and adults suddenly, leaving them
dependent on injected or pumped insulin
for life. It has nothing to do with diet or
lifestyle, and is not preventable. Insulin is
not a cure, nor does it prevent complications
which may include kidney failure, blindness,
heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, and
amputation.

Signs & Symptoms:
ŠŠ
Living with type 1 diabetes requires
approximately 1,463 needles a year
(based on four per day), and 2,190
finger pokes a year to test blood sugar
levels.
ŠŠ
While the causes of this disease are
not yet entirely understood, scientists
believe both genetic and environmental
triggers are involved.
ŠŠ
Canada has the sixth highest incidence
rate of type 1 diabetes in children 14
years or younger in the world.
ŠŠ
Globally, every ten seconds two people
develop diabetes.
ŠŠ
The World Health Organization
indicates five to ten per cent of a
nation’s health budget is spent on
diabetes.
ŠŠ
Diabetes and its complications cost the
Canadian economy more than
$15 billion a year.
The warning signs and symptoms of type 1
diabetes are:
ŠŠ
Extreme thirst
ŠŠ
Frequent urination
ŠŠ
Sudden vision change
ŠŠ
Fruity, sweet or wine-like odour on

type 1 diabetes is increasing by three
to five per cent annually – and the
greatest rise is in children five to nine
years of age.

3 . M e e t De b o r a h Sissm o r e
Everything Counts When
Living with Diabetes
I was diagnosed
with type 1
(juvenile) diabetes
when I was
four years old.
When I was 30,
complications from
the disease left me
totally blind.
I have been living
with diabetes now
for 42 years, and have experienced firsthand the astonishing advances made in
the care and treatment of the disease. After
all, it wasn’t until my late teens that home
glucose monitors were available for use.
Instead, sugar levels were tested through
urine – a process that was neither reliable
nor accurate. I believe my levels were often
very high; and chronic high blood sugar can
lead to devastating complications, including
blindness.
Fast forward to today – research, education
and growing awareness about diabetes have
lead to staggering improvements for people
like me. Glucose meters are now available
everywhere and the types and quality of
insulin have also improved. Even the method
of delivering insulin has vastly improved
from the glass syringe to the incredible
insulin pump.
But my life really changed in 2003
when I was selected to take part in the
JDRF funded Edmonton Protocol – a
groundbreaking experimental procedure
which involves transplanting insulinproducing islet cells from the pancreas of an
organ donor. After two transplants, my body
started producing its own insulin and for the
first time ever, my blood glucose levels are
perfectly controlled.
It’s obvious I wouldn’t have been able to
benefit from such cutting edge research
if it wasn’t for organizations like JDRF.
Its’ advocacy and work has lead to many
breakthrough treatments, drugs, and
therapies for those living with diabetes.
I believe further research and funding are
just some of the paths to a cure. My hope
is that more and more people with diabetes
will be able to benefit from research and
treatments the way I have. I am a real
example of how every effort and contribution
counts.

Diabetes Champion as part of World Diabetes Day celebrations, and featured in the
2010 Ride for Diabetes Research video. She is involved in many speaking engagements
on behalf of JDRF, and tells her personal story of overcoming the challenges of type 1
diabetes and inspires others to live a positive and active life despite the disease. JDRF
thanks and recognizes Deborah for her dedication and inspiration.

success in 2010.
Online fundraising keeps JDRF’s costs

Hogan’s Hope
“We find that online fundraising is the easiest way to reach family
and friends, near and far. We start a few months before the TELUS
Walk by sending out an e-mail letter to everyone we know. In it, we
include updates on how our daughter cares for her diabetes, and all
the positive things she achieves despite it. By including information
about JDRF research updates and how they affect her life, we help
everyone see how important their donation is to our family. We
include a link to our family fundraising page, where we post pictures
and a personal message. This year, we’ll include a link from our
Facebook pages. We then send reminders and updates in the weeks leading to the Walk,
and of course a big Thank You to everyone afterwards.”

Help JDRF Reduce Costs to
Increase Research Funding
The more money JDRF is able to save, the
more can be directed towards research.
Here are two ways you can help JDRF save
money and reduce costs:
1. Fundraise Online
Online fundraising is effective and
efficient
2. Donate your incentive prize
back to JDRF
Did you know JDRF pays for all its
incentive prizes?
A growing number of walkers are donating
their incentive prizes back to JDRF. The
new 2010 incentive prize system has been
modified in order to facilitate this generous
gesture.
An Hbc gift card prize program allows JDRF
to reduce costs and save money:
Benefits of using JDRF’s online fundraising
system include:

The average online pledge is
approximately double the amount of a
traditional pledge using a paper form.

manually handling donations and
inputting them into the online system.
ŠŠ
Receive your tax receipt electronically
rather than have JDRF manually
process it and incur administrative and
postage costs.

Download the Fundraising Guide,
pledge forms and other tools and help
JDRF save on printing costs. The
environment will also thank you.
ŠŠ
Provincial and federal taxes are not
applicable to gift cards thus reducing
costs by up to 13%.
ŠŠ
A significant discount is applied to gift
cards purchased through Hbc.
ŠŠ
Warehousing costs are significantly
reduced or eliminated by not storing
large boxed items.
ŠŠ
Reduced shipping costs across
Canada by sending gift cards versus
large incentive items.
ŠŠ
Post event fulfillment costs of
producing and shipping additional
