I'm walking in Port Macquarie to turn type one into type none!
I'm joining the world's largest walk for a future without type 1 diabetes (T1D) at Westport 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.
Our lives changed when Ryan was diagnosed with T1D just over 1 year ago at 8 years old, he was airlifted to a major hospital and spent time in the PICU and a week in hospital 200km from home in severe DKA due to undiagnosed T1D. We have no family history of type 1 and had little to no knowledge of it prior to his diagnosis. We now try to spread awareness and educate people on this condition as we feel there is still such a stigma attached to having diabetes and its management, and many people don't know the difference between the "types" of diabetes. We have been lucky enough to have had a pump provided to us recently from JDRFs pump program and are forever thankful for all the work they do around all aspect of T1D.
Please help us make type 1 become type none by supporting our walk today.
