Service Dogs of Barrie, Ontario in her bid to investigate the development of a program that will train dogs to detect falling blood sugar levels in type 1 diabetics. This could greatly improve the lives of some of the 300,000 Canadians who are currently living with this disease.
Ms. Fletcher applied for a Pepsi Refresh Grant in order to gain the funds to support this endeavour. In order to win this grant, Ms. Fletcher is looking for votes from the public. Voting began on January 4th and will close February 28th, 2011. Voting occurs here (link).
