“Like any parent I want my daughter to have the best life possible, to be as carefree as she can be. That’s the way it should be,” Katie said.
“Ashleigh struggles a bit – we play a game when she gets her four injections a day. She says she hurts a little bit but she is feeling better.
“Some things she has had to understand have been hard for her; she has had trouble voicing her feelings, saying how she feels about it all but is having counselling now to help with that.
“Everyone who is affected by type 1 diabetes has asked, ‘How far away is a cure?’ I am hopeful about a cure and we want to be part of it.
“Jelly Babies are one way to help.”
CEO of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), Mike Wilson, said JDRF invested nearly $10 million into Australian diabetes research and support last year.
“We are making important progress towards a better life for people with type 1 diabetes and ultimately a world free of the disease,” he said.
“Every little bit helps,” Katie added.
So call into Narromine Fruit and Veg where there is a number of products available for purchase to show your support in finding a cure.
