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

I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Reddall 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. As we rapidly approach high school and greater independence these 180 decisions or more a day weigh more heavily. Soon he’s going to have to shoulder so much more of that relentless burden. But research by amazing scientist’s gives us hope!

Please support my walk today.
