    Hi Rob,
    I was so pleased that someone is finally dancing for JDRF. I had stopped watching DWTS but when I knew you where dancing I have been watching again and voting for the first time. I have a son who is type 1, he has now lived with type 1 for 5 years and went on pump earlier this year. When first diagonised he had BSL of 95. At that stage the highest Randwicks Childrens Hospital has registered. He is now a typical 18 year old, and enjoying life. We want to see you win. Go Rob!

    Hi Rob,
    Way to go ! Our family were so pleased to watch you dance each week and to finally win! We have a daughter who was diagnosed with type 1 and coeliac at age seven and has been a youth ambassador for JDRF for 3 years. I loved the way that you gave it such a commitment and showed such enjoyment for dancing. My husband and I met at a dance studio and both love dancing and now our daughters dance too. It's tricky balancing all her exercise and working out insulin on a pump but that never stops my daughter from dancing !
