I'm walking for a world without Type 1 diabetes, in Melbourne!
I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at South Beach Reserve this March!I will be joining 80,000 people across Australia in the Breakthrough T1D One Walk Step Challenge, to raise funds to help find a cure for Type 1. I will have had diabetes for 36 years on 1st July this year, and my father will have had it for 57 years.
In case it isn't obvious - why Type 1 diabetes?
We need to find a cure for the 140,000 Australian children and adults living with Type 1 diabetes, because...
* Type 1 is an auto-immune disease, and cannot be prevented
* the long term complications of diabetes can include blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage
* people with Type 1 diabetes need multiple insulin injections every day, just to stay alive
* insulin is not a cure for Type 1 diabetes – there is currently no cure
Do I need any more reasons? Your donation will fund vital research, which will one day find a cure - hopefully in my lifetime (and Dad's, and my cousins, and friends...you get the gist!)! I'd be very surprised if you don't know someone who's diabetic - besides me, of course! ? And if they're Type 1, your donation will help them too!
