The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) One Walk, which raises funds to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes, will be back on the Central Coast on November 8, 2015.
The 6km walk will begin at Davistown Ferry Wharf and continue along the waterfront to Kincumber and then loop back to the Wharf. JDRF’s Ms Margaret Sheridan said that over the last two years, the Central Coast has raised $50,000 worth of funding for type 1 diabetes research and that it was so important to find a cure to this silent disease.
“A cure will give so many families peace of mind, that when their child goes to sleep at night they would never have to worry about them going hypoglycemic, slipping into a coma and potentially dying, ever again,” Ms Sheridan said.
The walk route is both wheelchair and pram friendly and dogs are also permitted. Before and after the walk, there will be a BBQ, face-painting and other fun activities at the Davistown Waterfront.
