I was thinking about 2 different charities but will go with Diabetes Australia for this month 
A close family member suffered terribly from Diabetes and eventually died from it. I also suffer from it but have been luky enough to control it thro eating the right food but I know that one day it will be a problem for me

Diabetes Australia is the third oldest diabetes association in the world after the United Kingdom and Portugal.
Diabetes Australia ~ NSW was established in 1937 as a voluntary support group. Today it is a part of a federation of twelve organisations ~ medical, education and scientific, research and community based ~ coordinated and facilitated through the national office in Canberra.
These organisations comprise eight State and Territory Associations of Diabetes Australia, the Australian Diabetes Society, the Australian Diabetes Educators Association, the Kellion Diabetes Foundation and The Diabetes Research Foundation ~ Western Australia.
Diabetes Australia is a not-for-profit organisation reliant on community support. All funds raised on behalf of the organisation are re-invested into research, health services, provision of self–management products and services, and public awareness. It offers personalised and practical assistance to benefit people with diabetes and their carers and provides a forum for the development of national policies.

It`s peculiar just how many people I know suffer from diabetes, my own mother had it in her later years of life.
And for some reason it`s one of those health problems which seems to be increasing in some parts of the world, certainly true of the UK.
It must be very `inconvenient` for want of a better word for those who have to have daily injections to control it.
