Jim’s Antennas Montrose supports Type One Diabetes

Jim’s Antennas Montrose are proud to be a major sponsor for Team Tahlia at the One Walk held at Albert Park in early October 2015.

These walks allow JDRF and Team Tahlia to fund life-changing research, helping to lessen the everyday burden of T1D for 120,000 Australians living with the disease, and ultimately, create a world where it no longer exists – a world where Type One has become Type None.

Tahlia is now 8 and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2010. The disease usually arises in childhood but it lasts a lifetime because it destroys the ability to produce insulin, which is vital for life.
It can be a very difficult life at times for Tahlia as a child with Type 1 diabetes. Tahlia is now given insulin continuously over the day via an external pump, as well as checking her blood sugar levels with a finger prick between 6 and 8 times a day. This is all done just to stay alive and stay healthy with T1D!!

Team Tahlia had a goal this year to raise $4000 and with all the help from team supports they raised $6500. Great effort!

This could not have been achieved with out the generosity from Aaron Puddy- Jim’s Antennas Montrose, Andrew Park- Jim’s Antennas National Office and Daniel from one of Jim’s Antennas preferred suppliers – Bitek.
