Story

Thank you for taking time to read this message. I will keep it simple. I am kindly asking you to support me in my efforts to raise funds for Breakthrough T1D.

Breakthrough T1D is the leading global Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy charity, who help make everyday life better while driving toward cures for Type 1 Diabetes.

From the 6 October till the 14 November I will walk at least 10,000 steps each day.

14 November is International Diabetes Day and is the birthdate of Frederick Banting co discoverer of insulin. Insulin is a life line for people with Type 1 Diabetes but it is NOT a cure.

There are millions of people throughout the world with Type 1 Diabetes including one of my most favourite people. Many people with type 1 diabetes are doing amazing things while having to make over 300 decisions a day just to manage their blood glucose levels. For children and adults with Type 1 Diabetes there are are no days off and no holidays from diabetes. It is relentless; it is always there.

Please help me support finding the CURE.

Thanks so much

Kathy
