Fundraising for Type 1 Diabetes Research
Type 1 diabetes has been a part of my family’s life since 2007, so this is a cause that is really close to my heart.
For anyone who doesn’t know much about Type 1, it is an autoimmune disease where the body stops producing insulin. It isn’t caused by eating too much sugar or by lifestyle, and at the moment there is no cure. People living with Type 1 have to manage their blood sugar and insulin every single day, often making decisions around food, exercise, illness and insulin constantly.
More than 140,000 Australians are currently living with Type 1 diabetes, and behind that number are so many families who have had their lives changed by this disease.
I’m raising money to support Type 1 diabetes research because I would love to see a future where we understand the disease better, have better and easier ways to manage it, and hopefully find a cure. Even making day to day management less exhausting and demanding would make such a huge difference to people living with Type 1.
Having seen the impact of Type 1, this is something I really care about. So if you’re able to donate, even a small amount, it would mean a lot to me and would help support research towards a better future for people living with Type 1❤️
