Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you know, our lives were turned upside down in March 2024 when Jarrah was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Hearing your child has an organ that doesn't work that is vital for his survival is something no parent should ever have to hear. Having to train and learn to be his pancreas took its toll, especially in the early days but almost one year in, and we're doing well.

We may appear to have it together on the surface, but the constant worry of Jarrah's future is always there beneath the surface. We have grieved for the life we thought Jarrah would live, but we are determined to not let this define him. We will do everything in our power to ensure he lives his best possible life.

I will finish by saying we're lucky to have this little boy in our lives, and he has taken all of this like an absolute champion. Yes, he has days where he says, "I wish I didn't have diabetes" or "I don't want a pump or Dexcom change" but he still smiles through it all.

Thank you all :)

Mel, Chad and Jarrah. Xxx
