Real Estate Agents To Throw Themselves From Plane

Media Release – 24 January 2012

Four staff from First National Palm Beach (QLD) are planning to throw themselves from a perfectly safe aircraft, along with some corporate support from First National Real Estate’s management in a couple of weeks.

The team will participate in the Jump to Cure Diabetes at the Sunshine Coast Airport in an effort to raise and contribute $5,000 towards finding a cure. The jump is being organised by Team Cure Diabetes who arrange fundraising events throughout the year to support their mission to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.

First National Palm Beach’s senior property manager, Dorothy Hamilton, said her fellow jumpers simply want to support Diabetes sufferers as well as their colleague, Cara Watts, who’s 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 5.

‘The disease has a huge impact on the lives of entire families, not just the person who has been diagnosed’ said Mrs Hamilton.

‘Simply daily matters for healthy children that we as adults take for granted, such as a treat after school, birthday parties and sleepovers, are fundamental things that every child should be able to enjoy’.

First National Palm Beach has asked for community support in its efforts to raise at least $5,000. A sausage sizzle was held last Friday which raised over $871.00.

Mrs Hamilton said that education and support for families is the most important aspect of managing the disease. Funds raised go towards research for a cure but also the support families need to help their children live a full, healthy, normal life.
