A Message from SynxBody CEO

As a parent, discovering that your child is living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) can be an overwhelming experience. The constant monitoring, the meticulous management of blood sugar levels, and the ever-present fear of complications can create a challenging reality for both the child and their family.

Supporting JDRF was a natural choice for us after my son Declan's diagnosis with T1D in 2023 was a life-altering moment for our family. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, one organisation stood out as a beacon of support: the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

JDRF's presence in our lives was immediate and impactful. From the welcome backpack in the hospital to Rufus the bear and the follow-up phone calls, they made sure we felt supported every step of the way. Witnessing the incredible progress in T1D treatment and management, all thanks to JDRF's worldwide efforts, made it clear that teaming up with such an organization was a no-brainer. We shared the same dream: a world without T1D.

As a podiatrist and the CEO of SynxBody, an Australian footcare company, our partnership with JDRF makes perfect sense. Our mission of keeping people on their feet aligns seamlessly with JDRF's goal of minimising diabetes-related complications. Foot health is crucial, especially for those managing T1D, and our expertise complements JDRF's work beautifully. Together, we're not just supporting vital research and advocacy; we're also empowering people with T1D to prevent foot complications.

My journey has brought us here, and together with JDRF, we're excited to make a real impact in raising awareness of Type 1 Diabetes and contributing to game changing research.

We are kicking this partnership off with a contribution of $1.00 from every online order to JDRF with so many other ideas in the pipeline as we see this as a long-term commitment. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of those affected by T1D and work towards a world without this devastating disease.Join us in the fight against type 1 diabetes. Together, we can turn hope into reality and change the lives of millions.
