Not Your TYPE1cal Adventurer

Hubby is SO close to reaching his goal of 1000km ridden and $3000 raised for Blue September. 734km in the bank, I have no doubt that he’s going to smash his 1000km goal 🔥.

He’s $463 away from reaching his fundraising goal - If his determination and commitment to the cause could bridge that gap he’d be there ten fold, but he can’t do that part himself. He needs your help!

Please donate, support him and support all of those who have been impacted by prostate cancer, a little will go a long way here. Do it for the Grandads, Dads, Uncles, Brothers, Nephews and Sons that you care about, this is who it’s all for.

Help Tom Burroughs-Moody feel the success he deserves, success that he’s earnt through the hours he’s spent on his bike this month, pushing through all the stuff life piles on top, and showing up for it anyway.

Help me get hubby across that finish line!!

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Here’s the link, any donation is so greatly appreciated!!

I'm raising money for a cause close to my heart and would love your support.

Extra instruments (AAPS) on the dash taking the stress out of a day on the water.

🚤 Growing tired of being the ‘passenger princess’ on board, i’d been wanting to spend more time learning to drive our boat and got to tick that box last weekend when I was official ‘boatman’ for hubby and his mate at the NorthIsland Spearfishing Champs at Kapiti last weekend.

There was some reminiscing of the last time I was ‘boatman’ all of five years back when we were in our early days (first week knowing each other 😮) and up in Taupo!!!

☀️ I couldn’t have asked for better conditions, sunshine and minimal wind! Kapiti put it on!! The sea was kind.

🩸⚕️Being out on the water brings some anxiety around being so far from help but with ALL the prep, ALL the juice boxes and carbs, and ALL the tech, I was able to put diabetes aside and enjoy the day.

Heavy legs and a light heart ❤️
Hubby and I took an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of life for a long overdue adventure.
🏕️We camped up at Waiohine Gorge - entrance to the Tararua Forest Park, in the improvised ‘Adventure Wagon’ as our usual adventure mode transport is off the road - not in the fun way.
🥾We set off early the next day headed to Totara Flats Hut for a one day in and out mission (around 20km), hoping to come out the other end with some venison. Spoiler alert, the track was not ‘flat’ 🤣 but was absolutely stunning, rugged, a little bit technical - and a sh*t ton of fun! The swing bridge is an absolute MUST DO!
🦌Despite being a popular public track, there was plenty of sign, and there were deer…just none that were keen to hang around for long!
⚕️🩸My blood glucose levels were as up and down as the elevation profile. Massive shout out to diabetes tech for keeping me comfortable, safe and enabling me to be in the moment….

Where to next Tom Burroughs-Moody?! 📍🧭

Last year’s adventure involved mental endurance and growth and today I got to walk the stage and claim the prize 🎓. Taking on Postgraduate study as my first ever foray into academia was ambitious, on top of a full time job, family, and working hard to take control of my diabetes management it was FULL ON! Hugest thank you to all those who supported me and helped me see this through ❤️ Big events like this sure bring out the diabetes anxiety, what you can’t see here is my concealed artificial pancreas, my stash of jellybeans, and me internally hoping my blood sugars remain stable.

Somehow I turned 38 this past weekend 😮🎂🎈. Super spoilt with a new mountain bike and shoes 🚴🏻‍♀️❤️. The best gift of all though was the experience of riding the Remutaka Incline with my family. We were even blessed with the most beautiful uncharacteristic Wellington day. Big shout out to my family and friends for making my birthday so special x

11 November 2023 - today I ran the 16km Taniwha trail run, raising over $900 for Diabetes NZ and promoting awareness.

😑 I was SO invested in proving WHAT I COULD achieve DESPITE living with T1D.

11 November 2024 - today I had my first HbA1c test since starting on the AAPS system with Medtrum nano pump and Libre 2 sensor. 50…FIFTY.. there is no other way to say it 🤯. In less than three months I am in control of T1D and out of harms reach.

🤯 Today I am invested in proving THAT I CAN successfully manage T1D.

If there was ever any question as to how life changing the decision to fund diabetes technology is, let my story be an example. I feel hope for the first time since being diagnosed 💫

Super cool Friday night out in South Wairarapa watching the massive Aurora storm. An amazing experience to be able to share with our kids.
