Charity
The Griffith Sport Toohey Trail Run is proud to once again partner with Diabetes Australia, supporting people living with diabetes and those at risk. $5 from every registration will be donated to help fund their vital work.
For the past six years, Griffith Sport has worked closely with Diabetes Australia through this impactful partnership. Diabetes Australia is the peak national organisation supporting nearly 1.5 million Australians living with all types of diabetes, as well as those at risk. The organisation funds critical research, provides education, and offers advocacy and support to reduce the impact of diabetes on individuals and communities.
With one person being diagnosed every five minutes, Diabetes Australia needs your support now more than ever. You can make an even bigger impact by creating your own fundraising page and rallying friends, family, and colleagues to support your Toohey Trail Run—every dollar raised helps fund life-changing research, education, and community programs for Australians affected by diabetes.
