EVERY day young Declan Goldston dreams of finding a cure for diabetes to help his little sister Freya.
The seven-year-old Buderim boy wants to be a scientist so he can make little Freya's life easier.
Freya, 4, was diagnosed with type one diabetes at 11 months old.
Her mother Jackie Goldston said the diagnosis was the start of a major lifestyle change for the whole family.
"The doctor described it then as juvenile diabetes and I didn't realise that was for life, there was no cure and it couldn't be prevented," she said.
"I didn't realise at that point she'd be on insulin for the rest of her life.
