Stronger With Every Step
The Callum & Jake Robinson Foundation is empowering athletes with diabetes—because every young person deserves the chance to compete without limits.
Why Diabetes
Callum Robinson, one of our namesakes, was a passionate athlete and a Type 1 diabetic who never let his diagnosis stop him from excelling on and off the field. He inspires our commitment to ensure that diabetes is never a barrier to athletic potential.
Today, about 830 million people worldwide have diabetes, and young athletes navigating this condition need targeted support, resources, and role models to show them what’s possible.
Phase 1: Laying the Foundation
Phase 1 is just the beginning. With your help, we’ll grow this program into scholarships, equipment support, training clinics, and nationwide outreach. Our Diabetes Advocacy program launches with:
Mentorship & Community
Connecting young athletes with diabetic role models who’ve been there.
Access to Resources
Supplying educational materials and guidance for athletes, parents, and coaches.
Awareness Campaigns
Sharing powerful stories of athletes with diabetes to raise visibility and combat stigma.
“People ask why I’m joining my third clinical trial. It’s simple: I have friends whose lives depend on advances from clinical research. Trials save lives, but only when healthy people step up to help move the science forward.”

“When we first learned Callum had type 1 diabetes, we were overwhelmed and uncertain. But we adjusted and followed his lead. He faced it with such courage that it gave us strength. Callum chose to live fully, never letting diabetes define him. His dreams were always bigger than his diagnosis.”
