I'm walking for a world without type 1 diabetes

My name is Alex,
I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
T1D is an autoimmune disease where my body no longer makes insulin, I have to check my blood sugar and inject insulin at least 4 times a day to stay healthy.
Learning to manage T1D has been challenging, but I am taking it one day at a time.

I am fundraising to raise awareness and support research to hopefully one day have a world where there is a cure.

Thank you for supporting my journey.

I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Davistown Waterfront 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 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.
