Help me help Cure Kids...please!

I am hoping that one day they find a cure for my Type 1 Diabetes and other serious conditions that affect children.

Auckland

I know what it is like to live with a chronic condition that has no cure. And it's just not fair, I never get a break from it, not on my birthday, not on Christmas day. Never. But I am hoping that one day they find a cure. Cure kids funds vital research to help improve, extend and save the lives of kiwi kids living with serious illness and conditions.

I would rather move one step closer to cure than have birthday presents. It's my wish when I blow out my birthday candles every year.

The photo is me when I was 22 months old in hospital, after just being diagnosed. I don't remember not have type 1. All the pumps and scanners are great, but they are just a way to manage things and are not a cure.

Please help me to raise funds for this amazing charity.
