Diabetes Tasmania's PolliePedal will cycle for the 16th time around Tasmania in 2021.Since 2006, we have cycled over 4,500km and raised over $740,000. My dad had a heart attack at a young age of 64  and did not survive. He also endured amputations prior to his attack. Poorly managed Type 2 Diabetes killed him. This disease is preventable. PolliePedal is not only a fundraiser which helps us to; continue our education programs, run our type one kids camps, advocate for all Tasmanians living with diabetes, promote a healthy and active lifestyle for all Tasmanians, run education sessions for a range of health care professionals so they can improve the care of their patients living with diabetes, run community awareness programs, donate to the national Diabetes Australia Research Program and more; it also allows us to raise awareness in the local communities we visit about; the seriousness of diabetes, breaking the stigma associated with diabetes, the benefits of leading a healthy and active lifestyle, showing others living with type one diabetes that anything is possible as we have cyclists riding with us who live with type one diabetes.Your support is needed.
