Story
Hey Moreland fam
On Saturday 16th November we will be hosting a charity WOD for World Diabetes Day which is on 14th November, raising money for Diabetes Australia.
A little bit about why I'd like to recognise this day with you all:
When I was 13 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes so I've lived with it for over 18 years. Living with a chronic illness definitely has its challenges but Crossfit has played a massive part in my journey, both physically and mentally. Staying active and exercising helps with the management of all types of diabetes and it's become a fundamental part of my life.
One of the biggest challenges I've faced is dealing with burnout, something I know a lot of people struggle with with any type of chronic illness. The rep scheme for the wod will reflect some stats about this:
- On average people with diabetes make 180 extra health-related decisions a day
- There are 42 different factors that can affect blood sugar levels
Diabetes requires 24/7 management, there are no days off
But it's not all doom and gloom! Having diabetes has also taught me resilience and that I can do hard things. I know that getting myself into the gym always makes me feel better and there's a wonderful community of smiling faces ready to sweat it out with me. I hope that everyone can relate to that on hard days no matter what you are facing.
There is a fundraiser page set up to donate here: https://incelebration.gofundraise.com.au/page/Elsa-93286566
So grab a partner and come join us for a sweat sesh next Saturday 💙💙
