Inspired by a school project and a shared desire to give back to their community, HSN patient Sébastien Moncion and his friend Ethan recently raised $560 selling handmade fishing lures. They used the funds to purchase 22 books for the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic at HSN.
Sébastien, who is living with type one diabetes, chose the Kaleb Dahlgren story for the donation since he thought it would be inspiring to other children living with the disease. Dahlgren is a survivor of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team bus crash and also has type one diabetes.
Sébastien and Ethan are shown here with some of the HSN healthcare heroes who work with pediatric diabetes patients!
