Empower Connections. Inspire Adventure. Transform Lives.
At Connected in Motion, we believe in the power of community to change lives. Every day, we work to connect and empower people living with Type 1 diabetes (T1D), providing opportunities to share experiences, find adventure, and grow together. Joining TeamCIM at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 2026 is more than just a race—it’s a chance to fuel that mission and make a real difference.
Meet Kate: Finding Confidence Through Connection
Kate attended her first Slipstream Weekend feeling like she had to handle her diabetes routine alone. The experience completely transformed her perspective.
Before coming to the Slipstream weekend, I felt like I needed to be independent with my diabetes routine. The presenters and other campers taught me so much about building a community, building a support network, and advocating for yourself. I am still amazed by the growth I saw in myself and how much confidence I gained handling the challenges that come with T1D after attending my first Slipstream.
Kate’s story is a testament to the power of programs made possible by fundraising events like Ottawa Race Weekend. When you support Team CIM, you’re helping create programs like Slipstream that change lives by fostering connection, building confidence, and empowering people with T1D.

I’m so grateful for the supportive community I found through Connected in Motion. It gave me the tools and confidence to thrive with T1D.
