Join the Walk to Cure Diabetes

The Walk to Cure Diabetes is the biggest national event for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to raise critical funds to support medical research that will improve the lives of the 122,300 Australians with this disease, and ultimately find a cure.

Kids and adults with T1D require a daily regime of 3 -- 6 insulin injections or continuous infusion of insulin through a pump, as well as 6 -- 8 finger-prick blood tests, just to stay alive. Researchers are working hard to understand the complicated mix of genetic and environmental factors that may cause or trigger this disease. However, it is certain that going on a diet or cutting down on sugar doesn't stop T1D.

Join 40,000 people around the country join the Walk to Cure Diabetes each year, with the goal of raising over $2 million for medical research here in Australia. Register today at www.jdrf.org.au/walk
