The Newton’s are going to run, walk, bike ride or go kart around Grovelands Park 100 times during the month of April. This time 100 years ago Frederick Banting and his lab partners would have been on the verge of the largest breakthrough in type 1 diabetes history the discovery of insulin. 

Insulin  has saved millions of lives but its not enough.Using insulin to manage type 1 diabetes isnt easy. Imagine what the world would look like if people with type 1 no longer needed to count carbs, prick their fingers or have injections. If hypos didnt exist and type 1 was just a footnote in medical history.We know life without type 1 will happen. Its just a matter of time. JDRF’s world-class researchers are making huge progress in the search for new ways to prevent, treat and cure type 1. But they need your help to continue. Please donate what you can xxx
