I'm walking for a world without type 1 diabetes in Perth!
This March, I am joining the world’s largest type 1 diabetes fundraising event for families at Burswood Park, and this year it is especially close to my heart.
My beautiful niece lives with type 1 diabetes. Since her diagnosis, our whole family has seen just how much this condition changes a child’s life. What should be carefree days are filled with finger pricks, carb counting, insulin doses, night time checks, and constant decision making. There are no days off. No breaks. Just a 24 hour fight to stay safe and well.
As her aunt, I have watched her show incredible bravery and resilience. I have also seen the mental, emotional and physical toll that type 1 diabetes brings. Our family is always looking for ways to make her life easier, safer, and closer to what every child deserves, freedom and simplicity.
That is why I am walking. To help raise $1.1 million for life changing type 1 diabetes research, and ultimately turn type 1 into type none.
Type 1 diabetes can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means facing an extra 180 health decisions daily, on top of just being a kid.
If you are able to, please support my walk and help us move closer to a future without type 1 diabetes. Every donation makes a difference.
