Now.

why

a cure
Whether there is a cure for diabetes soon or not... I will always eat, move, and think for health and for life. Basically, if there were a cure tomorrow, I would still eat the way I do (healthy and yummy).

one good thing
D
iabetes has changed my career... that is for sure. at the time, I was devastated because I felt like everything was falling apart. But... now I see that it took me on a road to quicker self discovery and learning how to take care of myself. I wouldn't change the way things turned out even though it was not always easy.

International Research into Diabetes for Kids


BROTHER is stepping up its support of Diabetes Research with the launch of it's first European and Middle East tour.

"We are using this opportunity to challenge our own level of commitment to humans affected by diabetes", announced BROTHER musician, Hamish, in a statement on the band's web site.

"BROTHER has supported the cause in Australia, the US and Canada but now in a matter of weeks we get to take it completely International ... Paris, Bordeaux, London, Cairo ... here we come."

5% of BROTHER's merchandise income from the tour will be allocated to research into diabetes.

In addition the band will meet with diabetes groups, organisations and individuals to discuss plans for future collaborative endeavours to raise awareness and support around diabetes.
