Local business rallies for diabetes

Southgate courtyard sprang into life on Friday, October 10, as a Southbank-based business put on a community sausage sizzle fundraiser to raise much-needed funds for diabetes research.

For a fifth year in a row, Shadforth Financial Group Ltd is participating in the Ride to Cure Diabetes – an event, which raises money to find a cure for type 1 diabetes.

The group is aiming to raise $30,000 for the cause, with each team member committing to a bike ride of either 35km, 80km or 160km in early 2015.

More than $1,100 was raised at the sausage sizzle and the group is calling on the community to help reach its target.
