Stomp Stories
South Pacific nations have the highest prevalence of diabetes in the world – so high that the United Nations reports that diabetes and other non-communicable diseases are one of the greatest threats to the region’s development. The 10,000 Toes campaign is committed to saving the lives and limbs of those affected.
Watch the stories of Sunil and Telita, and see firsthand the heartbreak caused by diabetes. Meet Mel Lemke and Terry Johnston and watch their transformation to health. Hear from Drs Chester Kuma, Andrew Pennington, Cherelle Fitzclarence and others about the devastating effects of diabetes and what you can do to prevent it.
