Harriet

I'm walking for Harriet Shirley

Wow!!

Thank you all for your support! 
Honestly we are blown away. Harriet signed up to have the chance to meet some other kids and families living with T1D, and she thought maybe she might make a few hundred dollars in support of T1D research. We didn’t expect to hit almost $2000 in just two days! We very quickly had to adjust our $200 fundraising target!

Harrie is soooo stoked to have raised so much money for diabetes research, she has even made it near the top of the leaderboard!

Thank you again, and we will keep you posted on how the walk goes!

Love Abbey, Rich, Harriet and Ben. 

I'm walking for a world without type 1 diabetes in Melbourne!

My name is Harriet, just 5 days ago, my world was turned upside down, when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I started off my day, swimming at the pool with my friends and by the end of the day I was in the emergency department at the Royal Children’s Hospital. 

The staff at RCH were absolutely amazing, I met some awesome nurses and diabetes educators. They made me feel confident to manage my diabetes. I have a lot to learn, but I’m excited to join the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event and try turn type 1 into type NONE.

T1D can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed with it 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 my walk today.

This must have been a shock Harriet. I was at the tennis the other night and was curious to learn that world no 2 Alexander Zverev is also diabetic. It’s good to know that diabetes, while it will ask for your attention, doesn’t get to shrink your life. Best wishes to you. 💪
