THE Danii Meads-Barlow
Foundation raised more than
$160,000 for Diabetes research at
the inaugural Jelly Bean Ball which
was held at the Sydney Sofitel
Wentworth last Saturday night.
The Ball, which is set to become
an annual event, was held to
commemorate the life of 17-yearold
type 1 Diabetic Danii Meads-
Barlow, who tragically died in her
sleep last November.
The Foundation is raising funds to
enable the use in Australia of an
alarm system which would warn
carers of a Diabetic “hypo” while
patients are asleep, as well as
working to have glucose monitors
added to the NDSS program.
