Money raised
from the ball will fund Australia's best and most promising research
to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is the most
serious form of diabetes and occurs when the body loses its ability
to produce insulin. Generally striking children and young adults,
it makes people dependent on multiple injections of insulin every
day. Type 1 diabetes can't be prevented and there is currently no
cure. Insulin does not prevent the devastating health consequences
of type 1 diabetes which may include blindness, heart disease, kidney
failure and amputation due to nerve damage.
Limited tickets
are still available. For tickets or further information visit www.jdrf.org.au
or call 1300 363 126. Tickets are $160 each or $1,600 for a table
of ten.
