Inspired by Macy… Walking for a Future Without Type 1

In February 2024, our daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a life-changing moment for our family.

Since then, Macy has shown incredible resilience. Overnight, we became carb counters, nurses giving needles, and experts in far too many finger pricks. Macy, at just 6, had no choice but to roll with it and grow up fast. Now at 8, she knows more about her body and her health than most adults do in a lifetime. She even makes the hard choices to sometimes miss out, just to keep her levels in check.

Her day-to-day isn’t always easy, but she never lets it slow her down. Even on little sleep, she’s always moving - school, swimming, footy, gymnastics, and keeping up with her brothers. Activity can affect her blood sugar levels, but thanks to diabetes technology - made possible through research and fundraising - she can keep doing what she loves with the people she loves. We monitor her levels and adjust her insulin alongside her, helping her stay safe, keep smiling, and live life to the fullest.

Inspired by her strength, we’re walking 5km this March to support life-changing type 1 diabetes research. By donating, you’re helping fund research, raise awareness, and support families like ours. Every step brings us closer to a future without type 1 diabetes.

Please donate if you can and support our beautiful girl - every contribution helps children like Macy navigate the 180 extra decisions they make every single day living with type 1 diabetes.

If you would like to join us on our walk, please reach out and I can provide all the details!

Thank you for your support. 

We're walking for a world without type 1 diabetes in Moreton Bay!

We're joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Sweeney Reserve 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.

Please support our walk today.
