Meet our wonderful supporters

Meet Robert

Robert and his late wife Janice have had a personal connection with Diabetes Victoria since Robert was diagnosed with diabetes in 2008.

Robert told us that he and Janice made the decision to leave 5% of their estate to Diabetes Victoria to ensure that Diabetes Victoria could help someone else the same way they’ve helped me.

This enabled them to give back to a cause they care about, whilst ensuring that their family were still provided for.
This is their story, watch it here.
