We're GOING BLUE to help create the blueprint for a world without type 1 diabetes

Our organisation is Going Blue for Breakthroughs to spread awareness about type 1 diabetes and raise funds to support groundbreaking research.

Please support our mission to come together, and take action on World Diabetes Day. With your help, we can create the blueprint for a world without T1D.

For those who aren’t familiar with T1D, there are currently more than 135,000 Australians who live with this condition, with a further 8 people diagnosed each day. T1D is a lifelong autoimmune condition where the body cannot produce its own insulin, which is what regulates blood sugar levels in our bodies. This means, people living with the condition need to monitor their blood sugar levels 24/7 and administer themselves insulin daily. This is done through insulin injections or using an insulin pump to keep their blood sugar levels stable. There is currently no cure for T1D.

Your support and participation on Go Blue Day would be greatly valued! Please consider making a donation and sharing our fundraising page to your wider network, including friends and family. Every dollar raised plays a crucial role in advancing life-changing research, bringing us one step closer to a world without T1D. Thank you for your generosity and support and we look forward to Go Blue for Breakthroughs with you!
