The Lions Club of Berowra supports Diabetes Australia and PAWS for Diabetics Inc

MAY 4, 2006

Following our successful sausage sizzle for Diabetes Australia on Saturday 8 April 2006, we had a visit from Natalie Martin and Aramis of PAWS for Diabetics Inc as a guest speaker at our monthly meeting.

Natalie spoke of the work of this organization and the way they are helping people with their Diabetic Alert and Therapy dogs. These dogs increase the independence, safety and mobility of the Diabetic person by providing them with greater confidence to go out in public on their own without the need to rely on family and friends to accompany them, putting an end to the isolation often faced when one is afraid to go out for fear of having a Hypoglycaemic episode.
