Why me

Type 1 Diabetes and finding its cure is a passion of mine. My daughter has Type 1 diabetes and I also work as a Credentialed Diabetes Educator.

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

I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Eastern Park Circuit 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 with it 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.
