Two Whitsundays nurses are going to great lengths to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, embarking on a week-long outback trek to raise research funds.
Proserpine Hospital nurses Troy Wake and Siobhan Barlow have challenged themselves to trek the Northern Territory’s Larapinta Trail in August, as part of a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation fundraising campaign.
From August 23 to 29, they will trek 14-16km per day to show their support for the many Australians living with Type 1 Diabetes.
