Fun-raising Dress Up for children with Type 1 Diabetes
in conjunction with The Warehouse will donate a portion of their fun dress-up wig sales during the month of October, as well as hosting their own Halloween Dress Diabolical event.
Why dress diabolical? Dress Diabolical is a fun-raising, mufti-day event designed to increase awareness about type 1 diabetes and to support the families living with it.
