JDRF Fund Raising - Ride to Cure Diabetes 2014

Once again Matthew Fechner and Andrew Burrow completed the JDRF – Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation “Ride to Cure Diabetes” 2014 held in the Barossa Valley on the 18th of January. Matthew and Andrew completed the 80km course.
This is the team's second year participating in the JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes'.

Team “1000 Needles” was born from Matthew’s very personal goal, and the "1000 Needles" a year his daughter needs to manage her Type 1 Diabete's care plan, however as the team has grown, new Diabete's stories have been added.  Although our stories differ, our goal is the same - to help find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.

The 2014 ride nationally raised over one million dollars which is a fantastic achievement by all.

So far the team has raised over $4,300.
