The Alan Thicke Centre was established in 1989 at the Robarts Research Institute at the London Health Sciences Centre. The Centre was named for actor Alan Thicke because of his early connection to London while attending The University of Western Ontario, and his special interest in diabetes, as he had a son who developed diabetes as a child.

The Centre, which is really a virtual Centre ( without walls), consists of a mass of dedicated, talented and creative scientists from the Lawson Health Research Institute, St. Joseph's Health Care, London, The University of Western Ontario, Robarts Research Institute and the London Health Sciences Centre.   The work conducted by these scientists in search of a cure has gained national and international acclaim.   But as of yet the cure has not been found, further funds are required to move closer to end diabetes.  

  All funds raised by the Centre are dispersed in London and are eligible to be supplemented by Federal Government grants. 

We are a Canadian Charitable Foundation #0886846-03 and can provide federal tax receipts for donations.
