How We Started
The concept was created in 2011 from a high school club, known as the Dance Diabetes Away Project (D.D.A). It was founded by Christina Martin and her best friend. After she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 13 years old, her goal was to make sure that children and families did not go through the scary, confusing, and lonely feelings that can come from being diagnosed with a chronic disease with no cure. The club was the first step and today, we are honored to be a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that supports and creates a positive community with over 500 families impacted by diabetes, like Christina’s.
