Ladies Walk O'Reilly's National Park Oct26'

By Karen O'Connor

I’m fundraising for Breakthrough T1D to defeat T1D!

Walking for a Cure 💙

Each year, I bring together a wonderful group of ladies to walk, connect and help raise awareness and funds for Type 1 Diabetes. This cause is very close to my heart, I’ve seen firsthand how Type 1 Diabetes affects every decision, every day — from planning meals and activities to constantly thinking about blood glucose and insulin. It never gets a day off.

This year, we’re taking our walk to the beautiful O’Reilly’s in Lamington National Park. While we enjoy the stunning scenery and time together, we’ll be walking with a purpose — to support research and help create a future without Type 1 Diabetes.

Every donation, big or small, helps fund life-changing research and brings us one step closer to a cure and can make a REAL DIFFERENCE 💙

Thank you for supporting us and helping us make every step count!
