THE youngest Tasmanian diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, Gracie Bennett, was taking it all in her stride today for the annual Walk to Cure Diabetes.
It is the second year the event has been held in Tasmania, having raised more than $28 million for research over the past 20 years on the mainland.
Sharon Bennett said when her only child was diagnosed at 21 months, it devastated the family.
"I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest," Ms Bennett said.
