Diabetes was never something I associated with children. I knew of Type 1 diabetes, but just never really encountered it.... Until the start of 2021, when my close friend's daughter was diagnosed with it. They are such a strong family unit, but their worlds have been turned upside down and suddenly they now face a lifelong battle. I want to raise money in the hope that the technology can be improved to help her on her new lifelong journey. Because even with an insulin pump, her daily spikes and lows are so unpredictable and hard to manage. If I can help in some small way by contributing funds to medical research that would be amazing. Hopefully,  a day will come, when there is a better answer than a pump, or regular finger prick tests, or alarms constantly alerting day and night that sugar levels are dangerously high/low.    

I'm taking part in the Toohey Trail Run for Diabetes Queensland. I am completing the half marathon. Please support me to support someone else.
