Walk With Me to Help Find a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes

In 2022, my life changed in a way I never expected.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after experiencing severe DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis). It was frightening, overwhelming, and something I’ll never forget. One moment, life felt normal—and the next, I was facing a serious condition that I now have to manage every single day.

Type 1 diabetes doesn’t take a break. It’s constant. It means checking blood sugar levels, thinking about food differently, and always being aware of how my body is feeling. It’s something that stays with me 24/7.

That experience is the reason I’m taking part in a fundraising walk to support Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF)—an organization working toward better treatments and, one day, a cure.

I’m walking not just for myself, but for everyone living with Type 1 diabetes—for the people who know how hard it can be, and for those who may face this diagnosis in the future.

But I can’t do this alone.

I’m asking for your support. Donations of any size can make a real difference. The funds raised go toward critical research, improved technology, and support for people navigating life with Type 1 diabetes.

How you can help:

This walk is more than just steps—it’s about turning something scary into something meaningful. It’s about hope. It’s about progress. And it’s about believing that one day, there will be a cure.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting me in any way you can.

Let’s take steps toward a cure—together.

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

I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Wigley 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 my walk today.
