This club, part of the global Lions Clubs International network, is steadfast in its mission to serve and uplift the local community, making a tangible difference in the lives of its residents.
A cornerstone of the Hyde Park Lions' philanthropic efforts is their unwavering support for individuals and families affected by diabetes, a condition that touches many lives in our community. Recognizing the challenges and needs of local children living with diabetes, the club has embraced a significant goal: to raise $40,000 to enable children of London to attend d-camp, a specialized camp that offers not just fun and camaraderie but also vital diabetes education and management skills in a supportive environment.
In a powerful collaboration with Diabetes Canada, the Hyde Park & District Lions Club is proud to host this year's London Flame of Hope event. This initiative is more than just a fundraiser; it's a statement of hope, solidarity, and community spirit, aiming to bring us one step closer to a world where every child living with diabetes can thrive and feel supported.
Your support plays a crucial role in enabling us to conduct vital research. The funds raised from the Tournament serve as a driving force, accelerating our progress towards finding a cure for diabetes.

The Objective
Presently, there are 4.7 million residents of Ontario living with diabetes or prediabetes, making it a prevalent and escalating chronic condition in the region. Diabetes carries a stigma; more than one-third of individuals with type 2 diabetes opt not to disclose their condition due to discomfort. For those managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes, external perceptions often result in feelings of guilt, shame, embarrassment, or isolation.The Impact
Our aspiration is a world free from the repercussions of diabetes. This commitment drives our collaborative efforts to enhance the well-being of those affected. We facilitate knowledge-sharing and connections among individuals and healthcare professionals, advocate for supportive public policies, and fund research endeavors geared towards refining treatments and ultimately discovering a cure to eradicate diabetes. Funding from this tournament aids the 12 million Canadians living with diabetes and contributes to research endeavors striving for a cure.
Through these efforts, the Hyde Park Lions are not just raising funds; they are building bridges, fostering understanding, and contributing to a healthier, more inclusive community. Their work embodies the essence of Lionism—service, compassion, and a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others. Join us in supporting these endeavors, as we strive together to create a brighter future for all members of our community.
