Petronella Peach - One Unstoppable Woman!
(continued)
Nel talks about her support system
Nel talks about the difference one person can make
If success is measured by getting up more times than one falls down, Nel is an unqualified success. Diabetes has not been her only life-changing health issue. Nel is also a breast cancer survivor. Her Type 1 diabetes diagnosis was in 1983. In 1984 she became engaged, and got her breast cancer diagnosis. She credits her support system with her ability to bounce back.
Once every ten seconds, Nel Peach stresses, someone in the world dies of diabetes-related complications. Two million Canadians have diabetes. Something must be done.
Her own example is teaching other people with diabetes, other citizens, that something can be done.
If each of us did something to make a difference, can you imagine how different the world would be?
