Supporting Type 1 Diabetes – student fundraiser
Hello family and friends
My daughter Kaila who is in Year 3, was diagnosed in February this year with type 1 Diabetes. It has had a profound effect on Kaila’s life and our family. Her blood glucose requires management 24 hours a day with multiple needle pricks and insulin injections. It is not uncommon to either require a midnight injection of additional insulin or a sugar treat. All meals are measured and counted to match her insulin and activity.
Currently there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) is the major funder for finding a cure for type 1 diabetes and a world without type 1 diabetes. JDRF’s major fundraising event is One Walk. Kaila has chosen to support JDRF One Walk to help raise funds for a world with ‘type none’ diabetes.
To support Kaila we would be thrilled if you could join us, Team Kaila & Friends, on the walk and/or kindly make a donation to support Kaila. Every dollar raised will go towards finding a cure and returning Kaila & others to a normal life.
