We're walking for a world without type 1 diabetes in Mackay!
We're joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Queens Park this March!
Why? To help raise $1.1 million for life-changing T1D research, and ultimately turn type 1 into type NONE.
T1D can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means a 24/7 fight with no break, and facing an extra 180 decisions a day to remain safe and healthy.
No one really prepares you for what Type 1 does to your world, it literally changes everything. The way you sleep, think, plan, breathe.
When Laykyn was diagnosed, people said, "I couldn't do this if I was you" "He is so brave" "You’re so strong"
Strength is the sleepless nights, the constant alarms, the fear of missing something, wondering if your doing everything correctly while your hearts racing and pretending you’re okay when you’re not. Strength is showing up every single day, learning, adjusting, and trusting your own instincts.
Type 1 has tested us more than anything ever has, and it continues to every single day. It broke me, rebuilt me, and taught me that no matter how much I want/need control, sometimes all we can do is just keep going.
Type 1 doesn't give breaks, it doesn't sleep and it definitely doesn’t care how what you did yesterday kept your levels in range. No two days are ever the same.
Laykyn faces more in one day than most people do in there entire life. Though he knows no difference he does it with courage, strength, resilience and laughter. He is a tiny inspiration to everyone around him. He is our little Warrior!
Type 1 is hard, Type 1 is fierce but so is he. 💙
