Flame of Hope (diabetes)
Flame of Hope (diabetes)
The Flame of Hope is a symbolic torch located in London, Ontario, Canada. It was lit by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1989 to recognize the global efforts in fighting diabetes. The flame was intended to remain lit until a cure for diabetes is found.
History
The Flame of Hope was initiated by the Canadian Diabetes Association (now Diabetes Canada) and the city of London. The idea was conceived by Ronald J. Sigal, a prominent endocrinologist and diabetes researcher. The flame is housed in a monument located in the garden of the Banting House National Historic Site, the former residence of Sir Frederick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin.
Symbolism
The Flame of Hope symbolizes the ongoing quest for a cure for diabetes. It is a beacon of hope for the millions of people worldwide living with this chronic condition. The flame will only be extinguished when a universally accessible cure for diabetes has been discovered.
Recognition
The Flame of Hope has received international recognition for its symbolic representation of the global fight against diabetes. It has been visited by numerous dignitaries and personalities from around the world, including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who lit the flame in 1989.
