Massive Thank You

Team Kennedy just wanted to say a massive big thank you to everyone that’s jumped on board so far. We were hoping people would chuck in their spare change so we’ve been blown away by the very generous donations so far. Kennedy hit her goal of $200 in the first 24 hours so now she’s hoping she can raise $400.

Thank you again. We’re blessed to have such amazing support.

TEAM KENNEDY- Type ONE-derful

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

I'm joining the world's largest walk for a future without type 1 diabetes (T1D) at Cairns Esplanade Fun Ship Playground 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.

I hate that I have to inject myself 5 or more times a day just to stay healthy. I sometimes have to miss out on the things that I love because of my diabetes. I would like a cure for Type 1 diabetes because I’d like to be a professional dancer when I grow up.

It’s been tough but I am strong.

Please support my walk today.
