The goal- turn type 1 into type none

I'd love to be able to say that I HAD diabetes however sadly I don't think we will see the cure in my lifetime. I participate in the One Walk fundraiser every year because I like to help raise the funds for research and new technologies that help diabetics control their condition rather than the other way around. Its a cause close to my heart being a T1 diabetic since age 11.

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

I'm joining the world's largest walk for a future without type 1 diabetes (T1D) at Thomas Holton Park Playground in Croudace Bay Park on Sunday 9 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.
