I am fundraising for Diabetes NZ Live Brave Mana Ora- Bay of Plenty/Lakes Family Camp.

This camp is for families who have a child with type 1 diabetes, like Ezra. Family Camp is a great opportunity for families to meet other people who have a child with type 1 diabetes so they can build a support network of people who GET-IT. Ezra and I went on our first Family Camp just 3 weeks after he was diagnosed. We have been on one just about every year since. That first camp was great for both me and Ezra, he got to meet other kids with type 1 and not feel like the odd kid out for a couple of days. For me it was reassuring to be able to talk to other parents and know he was going to live a normal life with diabetes. The parents I meet were welcoming and I am still in regular touch with most of those parents today. Ezra is now 16 and has had type 1 for 8 years this October, he is looking forward to camp next year

We now get to give back to other families who are still new to diabetes. Help us help other families raising a child with type 1 diabetes
