Let's Make Insulin Affordable for Everyone 💙

1.3 million Americans ration their insulin because they cannot afford it.

Insulin has existed for more than 100 years, yet its cost remains a serious barrier to access. Three manufacturers dominate more than 90% of the global insulin market. People deserve to be able to afford the medication that keeps them alive. I believe this with every fiber of my being.

That’s why I’m partnering with Project Insulin to raise $10,000 throughout November, culminating on Giving Tuesday, December 1. And - thanks to a generous $250,000 matching gift already secured by the organization, every dollar donated will have twice the impact.

You know I love a moonshot goal!!!

Soooo, what is Project Insulin doing to make insulin affordable?

Project Insulin is a nonprofit pharmaceutical organization working to develop a biosimilar insulin drug, and make it available directly to patients at cost, regardless of insurance status. Rather than operating to maximize profits, Project Insulin is building an alternative designed to put patients first.

BIG SWOON.

The organization is still in the early stages of drug development. There’s important scientific and regulatory work ahead before its insulin can reach patients. Every donation in this campaign helps fund that work and bring the goal of more affordable insulin closer to reality.

Throughout November, Diabetes Awareness Month, we'll also be sharing stories from people living with diabetes about what affordable insulin would mean in their lives. Because behind every statistic is a real person, a family, and a life that shouldn't have to revolve around the cost of life-sustaining medication.

Here's how you can help:

Donate: Give whatever you can. Every eligible dollar can go twice as far. (Isn’t that electric???)

Share: Send this campaign to friends, colleagues, and your community.

Get your organization involved: If your workplace, nonprofit, or community organization wants to contribute or help spread the word, we'd love to connect.

I'm asking the entire Hype for Good to show up for this one. Let's help build a future where nobody has to worry about affording the insulin they need to live!!!"
