The DANII Foundation MISSION: • To support people with type 1 diabetes, lobby government and industry to ensure latest technologies are available and affordable, alerting carers to life threatening hypo and hyperglycaemia • To Educate & Advocate for a type ONE diabetes VOICE WEBSITE: www.danii.org.au CONTACT: admin@danii.org.au BACKGROUND: Danii was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was only FIVE years old. Despite having to prick her finger several times a day, to take her blood glucose (sugar) levels, and have several daily injections of insulin (and later manage her insulin pump), this talented young lady led a full, action packed life. She was extremely popular and excelled in many things. A very talented singer – she was a leader of the Australian Girls Choir and had aspirations to make singing a career. A LIFE CUT SHORT – Sadly all her dreams were shattered on November 8th 2011 when Danii lost her life as a consequence of Diabetes Mellitus. She went to bed a happy, beautiful teenager and never woke up. She was just SEVENTEEN and had everything to live for. Her family will never, ever be the same. Her brothers have lost a wonderful, vibrant sister and friend. Her parents have lost their beloved and only daughter. This trauma CAN BE AVOIDED and the Danii Meads Barlow Foundation has been created to help prevent another tragedy like Danii’s ever happening again in Australia - and around the world. As a legacy to Danii, the Danii Meads Barlow Foundation has a commitment to help make a difference. JOIN US AND HELP PREVENT ANOTHER DEATH. Help prevent the unimaginable. Help prevent another parent going to wake up their child and finding they will never be able to wake them again. Danii Meads-Barlow Foundation Ltd (DANII) is an Australian registered charity organisation. Please follow us and support DANII in its dedicated efforts to save lives. www.danii.org.au
