Diabaddies

Run for Research 2026

About the Diabaddies!

The team name says it all! We are both Type 1 Diabetics, with a combined diabetic age of 36 years. We both moved to Perth in December 2025, somehow ended up working at the same place, discovered we are very similar in more ways than one, and naturally… became friends! So, when the opportunity came up to run for a good cause together, we thought: why not?!
And just like that, the Diabaddies were born! 

Throughout November, we will be putting our legs (and probably our diabetes management skills) to the test by running 3km every day to raise money for medical research. 

If you’d like to donate and support the Diabaddies team, please follow the link

We're running to defeat cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and rare diseases.

This November we're each running 3km a day to help beat Australia's toughest diseases. 

Your donation will keep us moving and, more importantly, support life-saving medical research at Perkins. 

Thank you for your support, every step we take is powered by your generosity.
