JDRF’s favourite TV star Rob dances up a strong position
A glamourous Foxtrot in Episode 3 has put JDRF’s favourite TV tradie Rob Palmer and his dancing partner Alana in a strong position on the Dancing with the Stars scoreboard.
Rob, from Channel Seven’s Better Homes and Gardens, said he was thrilled to swap his khakis for sequins on Dancing with the Stars. As a celebrity contestant, he has chosen JDRF to receive his prize-money because finding a cure for type 1 diabetes is a mission close to his heart (read the full interview with Rob).
“Kids don’t have any say about getting type 1 diabetes, it’s hard and it’s unfair and I would love to see the day when no one else is diagnosed with this disease.”
On the positive side, Rob’s advice on type 1 diabetes is to fit into your life. “I say ‘yes’ first and work out how to manage diabetes after. Whatever you do, don’t let type 1 diabetes make your decisions for you.”
