I'm walking for a world without type 1 diabetes in Melbourne!
I’m taking part in this walk to raise money for Type 1 diabetes research in support of my beautiful friend, Gauri. Living with her has given me a window into the constant, invisible labour of diabetes. Every meal is calculated, every bit of exercise planned, every day carried with the knowledge that a health crisis can arrive without warning. It is relentless. Watching someone who fills your days with vibrance and love, live with that level of vigilance, that lack of spontaneity and frivolity, bruises my heart.
I’m raising money for Gauri and for everyone living with Type 1 diabetes, so they can have more freedom and less fear during their day to day. Freedom to go on a multi-day hike without counting every unit of insulin, to saying yes to a jumbo frozen Coke at the movies without a second thought, to live a life that feels lighter and less constrained. Please donate to help raise funds for Gauri and others like her living with T1 Diabetes. <3>
