Gala aims to score for a cure continued from p.7 Dress is semi-formal but dressing for the era is welcomed. Tickets are available at www. starlightsoiree.com. The money raised will help Aidan MacCormack and the other 300,000 Canadians with Type 1 diabetes live longer, healthier lives. "All children deserve to have a fun childhood," said Matt Varey, an Oakville resident and chair of the JDRF national board of directors. "We've made enormous strides and breakthroughs in giving back standard of life to those living with diabetes. "We're driven by a passionate group who hope to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes, and we can't do that without funding world-class research." Though physical activity adds another variable in the equation when monitoring his blood sugar, Aidan maintains an active lifestyle. He runs track and plays houseleague hockey and rep baseball. But it means he must be especially vigilant in monitoring his blood sugar and timing his meals. "Our hope is, and we believe, there will be a cure in his lifetime," said Tamara. "Even as a teenager, he's going to have even better treatment methods with better technology. Right now, as parents, we own a lot of the caregiving, but Aidan will take on more of that as he gets older and it's something he will be looking after the rest of his life. "So, the goal is to make Type 1 diabetes, type none." 13 | Friday, October 31, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Century 21 Dreams Inc. Are you planning a vacation for 2015?
