Ladies Who Lunch, Sydney for Diabetes’s Australia

On Friday 16th June, 2017 an amazing group of ladies  raised money and shared a glass of bubbles or two over lunch.  Each lunch is held to raise money for a variety of different charities.  This event in June 2017 was  to raise money for Diabetes’s Australia.  This is a charity close to Jamall’s heart as her dear friend Rachel was diagnosed 8 years ago as an adult with type 1 Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition in which the immune system is activated to destroy the cells in the pancreas which produce insulin. They do not know what causes this auto-immune reaction. Type 1 diabetes is not linked to modifiable lifestyle factors. There is no cure and it cannot be prevented. Type 1 diabetes Represents around 10% of all cases of diabetes and is one of the most common chronic childhood conditions.   The event was catered by Simmone Logue who also attended the Lunch.  We enjoyed a few hours with a great group of “Ladies who lunch” and raised over $2000 for Diabetes Australia.
