Our Message

September 14, 2024

Hello friends,


The TalkOnDiabetes Foundation is thrilled to welcome you back, or if you’re new to our community, to introduce ourselves. We’ve weathered storms and emerged stronger, our mission unwavering: to empower individuals living with diabetes and foster a world of understanding.

Founded in 2011, we’ve come a long way. Our initial fitness programs and educational workshops resonated deeply, offering hope and practical tools to navigate the challenges of diabetes. Yet, personal trials have shaped our journey. Our founder, Mr. Ashley Pettaway, faced the heartbreaking loss of his mother to diabetes. This experience, coupled with his own health setbacks, underscored the importance of self-care.

From the ashes of adversity, we rise renewed. We’re recommitting ourselves to our mission, armed with fresh perspectives and innovative approaches. With a focus on technology and community engagement, we’re developing exciting new programs and resources to support a growing global population affected by diabetes.

Join us as we embark on this new chapter. Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply sharing our message, is invaluable. Together, we can create a future where diabetes is no longer a barrier to a fulfilling life. Welcome home.

Sincerely yours,
Ashley Pettaway
Founder & President
The TalkOnDiabetes Foundation
