JULY 15, 2021 - Star Trek: Discovery actor Noah Averbach-Katz is at it again, this time raising an additional $3,000 for T1 International’s #Insulin4All campaign, in the fight against Type 1 Diabetes. T1 International is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to “support local communities by giving them the tools they need [...] so that access to insulin and diabetes supplies becomes a reality for all”.

In December of 2020, Averbach-Katz joined T1 International’s Vials of Life campaign. During that campaign, he led the “Starfleet #Insulin4All Division” of fellow supporters, encouraging fans to donate toward providing affordable insulin for those living with Type 1 Diabetes. Averbach-Katz himself lives with the disease.

Fast forward to the summer of 2021. Averbach-Katz launched his own initiative in support of T1 International. Along with his wife, fellow Star Trek: Discovery actor Mary Wiseman, they offered a limited number of signed photos of the couple on the set of Discovery. Supporters also had the option to purchase a unique, fan-made, 3D printed #Insulin4All Starfleet combadge. All funds from the sale were donated to T1 International. 

Last week, Averbach-Katz shared his excitement for the success of the effort on social media, saying, “Finally sent these out today[.] Thank you to everyone who purchased, shared, and promoted the fundraiser[.] Together we raised another $3000, bringing #TrekTwitter's total contribution to @t1international & the fight for #Insulin4All to over $12,000[.] I cannot thank you all enough”. With the post, the actor included pictures of the photo and combadge packages ready to be shipped to fans who supported.
