Liam's story
Liam Fryer, seven, from Dunedin, received a Jerry the Bear learning pack as part of our programme for children 4–10 years old living with T1D.

Liam was especially grateful to have Jerry with him on a recent family holiday when he was medically evacuated from the Plantation Island resort, in Fiji, with dangerously high ketone levels, and Jerry went along for the helicopter ride.
As Liam’s mum Paula says: “These bears are making a massive difference in our children’s lives.”
