Why this cause matters to us

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a lifelong autoimmune condition that requires constant management – and currently, there’s no cure. There are over 2,000 people in Canberra living with T1D, including many children and families. Our Gala unites families, supporters and local businesses to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs and to prevent, treat and cure T1D and its complications.
