JDRF Blue Hair Challenge FY23

I’m fundraising for JDRF to defeat T1D!

I’m fundraising for JDRF to defeat T1D! 

Type 1 diabetes was already close to me. my Nan had to have daily injections that we got to see as kids. 

But I really want to help in any tiny way especially to bring awareness as well as hopefully gather some donations in support of this cause! A very close family friend just found out her 15 year old has type 1 diabetes and now has to live with a built in apparatus. I cannot imagine the difficulty the major life style change would be to adjust to and this is why I feel the need to be apart of this. For that little girl with me who had no idea she would have to re learn her whole life’s little habits, and now have a permanent life saver attached to her. I hope she keeps her chin up and keeps on being her 

Once I reach my fundraising target to help support vital T1D research, I’ll be dyeing my hair blue.

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 challenge and DONATE NOW to help the #JDRFBlueArmy change the lives of Australians living with T1D. Thank you for your support.
