Lake Superior Coastal Trail

What is the Adventure Team?

The CIM Adventure Team, founded in 2016, is a team of exceptional individuals from the Type 1 diabetes community who come together to redefine life with Type 1 diabetes, achieve personal goals, and raise money for CIM to help more people realize life without limits.

Funds Raised

Each member of the Adventure Team raises $4500 to help increase access to Connected in Motion programming throughout North America. Since 2016 , the CIM Adventure Team has raised over $200,000. These funds support the creation of new Slipstream retreats, the CIM subsidy program, and helps CIM keep programs accessible to the diabetes community.
