Founded in 2010 by professional backcountry snowboarder and T1D Sean Busby, Riding On Insulin is an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has taught thousands of kids and teens living with Type 1 diabetes—and their siblings—how to ski, snowboard, surf, mountain bike, and explore the outdoors through adventure.
We strive to empower, activate, and connect the Type 1 Diabetes community through shared experience and action sports. Our core programs are ski and snowboard camps for youth ages 7–17 living with T1D, along with their siblings and close friends.
We also host two signature fundraising programs: a teen hiking retreat in the Brooks Range of the Alaska wilderness, and an adult Coaches Camp at Mammoth Mountain (previously hosted at Mt. Hood, Alyeska, Breckenridge, Whitefish, and more).
These experiences are made possible through the generosity of our partners, donors, and the peer-to-peer fundraising efforts of our campers and coaches.
Riding On Insulin Founder/Executive Director Sean Busby is a professional backcountry snowboarder with T1D who has backcountry snowboarded all 7 continents, and lives above the Arctic Circle in Alaska.
