This cause is incredibly close to our hearts, as Type 1 diabetes affects our daughter. Living with this condition every day gives us a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those with T1D and their families, which is why supporting research towards better treatments — and ultimately a cure — means so much to us.
If you’re attending the sale, we would sincerely appreciate your support, whether through bidding, sharing this post, or helping spread awareness. Every contribution, no matter the size, truly makes a difference. Jamie and Angela Gadsby,
They extend their heartfelt thanks to Talgai Santas, Malcolm and Chick Gadsby, Sponsored and our sale agents Bartholomew & Co., for their generosity and support of this important cause.
Know the signs of Type 1 Diabetes:
• Excessive thirst and frequent urination
• Unexplained weight loss
• Extreme tiredness
• Increased hunger
• In children — bed-wetting or frequent accidents.
Early diagnosis can be life-saving
Breakthrough T1D has been advocating, campaigning and representing the T1D community and driving T1D research for over 50 years around the globe. In Australia, our journey began in 1982. Go to their website for more information at www.breakthrought1d.org.au
T1D has seen tremendous progress. Life expectancy has increased, insulin pumps once the size of backpacks can now be carried in pockets, and glucose monitoring technology is subsidised for the entire Australian T1D population.
