The donation will address the Insulin needs of about 400 patients for a year and would help them lead a healthier and happier life. Diabetes is a condition caused as a result of the problems in production and supply of Insulin in the body.

Many of the children suffering from Type I Diabetes belong to low income households where parents cannot afford treatment for their ailing children.
