I'm walking for a world without type one diabetes

I'm walking in Sydney to turn type one into type none!

In June 2022, my life changed when i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I had to navigate managing my blood sugar levels, injecting insulin several times a day, and counting carbs just to maintain my health. It was very overwhelming at first and there are definitely still days more challenging than others but with the best support behind me, i’ve found the strength to love and accept it. 


I'm joining the world's largest walk for a future without type 1 diabetes (T1D) at Cathy Freeman Park on Sunday 23 March 2025!

Why? To help fund life-changing research aimed at improving lives and curing T1D. 

Type 1 diabetes can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed 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.
