It’s World Diabetes Day and we at Dreamtime Art Creative Consultancy are proud to showcase one of our team members who is thriving with diabetes.

DACC Operations Assistant, Ashleyrose Gilham lives with Type 1 diabetes. Officially dubbed our Deevabetic In Motion, she is not one to shy away from a challenge, and in true spirit, is in the home stretch of her own Triple Crown Marathon Series.

Having run the Melbourne Marathon on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong in October and the world’s largest marathon, the New York City Marathon last week, on Lenapehoking with a team of people living with Type 1 diabetes, she is now just shy of a month away from her third marathon in three months, the Honolulu Marathon on O’ahu, Hawaii.

Ashleyrose proudly trained for her Triple Crown Marathon Series on Wadawurrung Country and continues the final leg of training on her native Kumeyaay Country (San Diego, CA, USA). She acknowledges and pays respect to the First Peoples of these beautiful lands rich in culture and tradition.

DACC is proud to support Ashleyrose, and we invite you to do the same in uplifting this impressive endeavor by donating to Beyond Type 1. It’s an incredible diabetes organization funding advocacy, education, and research to provide awesome programs globally in order to change what it means to live with diabetes. More about Ashleyrose's story and how you can get involved in a global effort to change the lives of those with a chronic illness below:
