Join the #BlueBalloonChallenge to raise diabetes awareness
Blue Balloon Challenge
This year, as we honor caregivers and parents of people living with diabetes, we’re proud to share a powerful testimonial from Irina Zvereva, mother of tennis champion Alexander Zverev, who has lived with type 1 diabetes since the age of four.
As Irina beautifully puts it: “Anything is possible with type 1 diabetes”
In opening up about her son’s journey, Irina echoes the Blue Balloon’s metaphor:
Living with type 1 diabetes is like doing everything you do in your daily life, while keeping a balloon in the air. It's a constant balancing act.
The Zverev story is a powerful reminder that greatness can rise from challenges.
Once again this year, we’re proud to support Life for a Child through our #BlueBalloonChallenge, helping children in under-resourced countries gain access to essential diabetes care.
