Diabetes Australia - Queensland
Join the Green Team and help turn diabetes around in Queensland.
About 50 people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Queensland every day. People with diabetes are four times more likely to develop cardiovascular (heart) disease, kidney disease, eyesight problems, stroke, impotence, and lower limb amputation.
But it doesn’t have to be like this. Many cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented.
Each person that gets involved in the Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge, whether by cycling or sponsoring someone who is cycling, joins a community that is fighting one of Queensland’s biggest health challenges. Every person that joins the fight brings us one step closer to preventing the diabetes epidemic.
If you would like to help Diabetes Australia - Queensland why not join our Green Team and help raise funds to support our ongoing support and education in the community. It’s free!! Register online with www.everydayhero.com.au; or download our Request to Fundraise Form and Fundraise Guideline Kit. We’re here to help and to put FUN back into FUNdraising.
