Mike is an unassuming man who works hard in the South East Ontario Region behind-the-scenes. Mike has personally supported one of our largest fundraising events (the Taste of Kingston Food Festival) since its inception 11 years ago. Through this work, he has raised thousands of dollars for the Canadian Diabetes Association.

As the Regional Director of South East Ontario, I am continually impressed with Mike’s quiet effectiveness. Considered outgoing and larger than life by some, he is also a man who is not looking to be in the limelight. Mike enjoys helping the Canadian Diabetes Association. He works quietly and professionally at all times.

Mike started a new fundraiser the fall of 2009. At that time, he took it upon himself to combine his passion for walking with his passion for CDA. He walked 30 km and raised more than $3,200 dollars.

I am proud to say I know Mike Nimeh. It is an honour to call him a friend and a champion of our work.
