In 2016-2017 Our CEO Ange Liston-McCaughley ran 10 Marathons in 1 year in every state and territory of Australia. The reason behind taking up such a challenge was to raise awareness of Type1 Diabetes. And also raise funds in order to create the Type1 Foundation..

Type 1 Voice is a not-for-profit, community-based organisation committed to increasing the broader communities awareness about type 1 diabetes and changing the broader mindset and approach to chronic condition management.
The Type1 Foundation will assume and grow the key advocacy function of Type 1 Voice to strengthen the collective voice of those living with type 1 diabetes. The joining of these two successful consumer organisations to represent the best interests of those living with type 1 diabetes is an exciting development.
The 125,000 individuals living with type 1 diabetes in Australia are underrepresented and are struggling to achieve the quality of life they deserve. Type 1 Foundation Founder Ange Liston- McCaughley said, “This has to change, and bringing on board Type 1 Voice’s key advocacy functions will be a game changer for the type 1 community”.
Since forming in 2006, Type 1 Voice has been a pioneer in influencing positive outcomes for individuals and giving type1 families a true voice. Their success in achieving significant outcomes has ultimately come from listening and understanding the needs of the type 1 community. Past advocacy initiatives have included the extension of carer payments, health supporting workplaces policy, development of the best practice international position statement for type 1 diabetes at school, and development of the world first Parent & Clinician Guide.
Our type 1 diabetes advocacy program aims to build capacity and ensure those living with diabetes, and their associates and caregivers are empowered, have choices, and remain in control of their health decisions. The Type 1 Foundation with its dedicated advocacy service, Type 1 Voice, is committed to improving the lives of all those living with type 1 diabetes.
