OUR FUNDRAISING HEROES
Young rally car driver Jordan Grant raised awareness for diabetes at the 2021 NZRC Otago Rally in April by having his rally car painted with the Diabetes NZ Youth logo.
In 2021, we're off to a great start fundraising-wise! Diabetes New Zealand extends a huge thank you to everyone who has walked, run, rode or set themselves some other challenge to raise money for diabetes – or raise all-important awareness – this year. Of course, our fundraising heroes need their support crews and their donors, so we’d like to thank all of you as well. Special hats off to the teams who had their fundraising plans derailed by the Auckland lockdown this year. This was a massive disappointment, but it was wonderful to see the way donors still showed their support by giving anyway. This year, Diabetes Wellness will continue to bring readers inspiring stories of the fundraisers who are going the extra kilometre (or 100) for diabetes. Thank you to everyone who is continuing to find amazing ways to contribute to our communities. We couldn’t do it without you.
