The World’s Biggest Fingerprick
Posted on Jul 29, 2009
On Tuesday 28 July 40 children with type 1 diabetes from around Victoria visited Parliament House for Kids in the House. The Kids met with 25 Members of Parliament to tell them their compelling stories about life with this difficult disease and their hopes for a cure.
V8 Supercar driver Jack Perkins, who has type 1 diabetes, launched the World’s Biggest Fingerprick. With MPs and supporters taking part, more than 170 people joined together to prick their finger and share a moment of life with type 1 diabetes on the steps of Parliament House.
Fingerpricks are an essential part of the painful daily routine that keeps people with type 1 diabetes alive.
