I'm walking for a world without type one diabetes

Total Steps:

13,000

Steps Goal:

248,000

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

I'm joining the world's largest walk for a future without type 1 diabetes (T1D) at Princes Park on Sunday 2 March 2025!

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

Type 1 diabetes can strike anyone at any time, there is no confirmed cause and currently no cure.

I was diagnosed in 2013 after just a few months of being extremely thirsty, losing weight without trying and going to the toilet more often.

Since then, it’s been a constant fight to attempt to keep my blood sugar levels controlled – with thousands of injections, hundreds of jelly babies and lots of guessing.

8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means a 24/7 fight with no break and facing around an extra 180 decisions a day just to remain safe and healthy. 

As well as being part of the world’s longest walk, I’ll be attempting to walk, run or roller skate 5K per day in March.

My goal is to raise funds to support research to improve lives, work towards a cure for this lifelong autoimmune condition, get healthy and raise awareness of T1D.
