How often do we take for granted the availability of life-saving insulin? People in numerous countries around the world cannot access insulin – let alone afford it! Insulin For Life is an amazing non-profit organization dedicated to collecting and distributing unopened and in-date insulin and test strips (at least five months to expiry) that would otherwise be discarded. The organization sends these supplies abroad in response to emergencies but also as part of an ongoing effort to create a sustained base of recognized organizations with controlled monitoring systems.
