More than a walk

This March I signed up for the virtual T1D walk (again)! My goal is 248,000 steps that’s 8,000 a day for the 8 Australians diagnosed daily.

Raising money for research is the main mission, but raising awareness is just as huge for me. There is so much stigma and misunderstanding around what T1D actually looks like. It’s not just taking insulin to eat, it’s a relentless, 24/7 balancing act.

I’m walking to turn "Type 1" into "Type None," but I’m also walking so that the next time someone sees a sensor or a pump, they understand the strength it takes to wear one.

Let’s start the conversation. Support my walk below. 👟
