Julie LeBoeuf lives in Astorville, a small rural town in Northern Ontario, Canada. Her husband Michel is living with adult onset DM1 and two of their three children are juvenile-onset warriors. Alongside her daughter Alexandra, Julie became an MDF Support Group Facilitator in 2022 with the hope of bringing together Canadian DM families for mutual support.

Julie has worked in the education system for the last 25 years and is presently a special education consultant for her local school district. She is a strong advocate for her children and regularly collaborates with families and professionals to support children with special needs. Julie believes every child has a gift to share with the world; her goal is to create and promote respectful and inclusive environments that allow them to shine!
