We had so much fun taking the kids from Osborne Park’s Telethon Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre surfing with us last month!

Go Surf Perth owner and head coach Tom "Bomber" Johnston says it's important for kids with conditions such as diabetes to be active because it can drastically improve their overall health.

"Sports such as surfing helps kids physiologically as it strengthens their bones and muscles," he says.

"It also helps mentally and emotionally as it gives them energy, relieves stress and most importantly provides lots of fun!"
