Mum’s leap of faith

JODIE Kerney (pictured) is so eager to help find a cure for type1 diabetes that she’s prepared to jump out of a plane.

The Melton West mum will take part in a skydiving event on March 24 to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Inspired by her daughter Tiahna, 9 (also pictured), who was diagnosed with the condition aged 3, she’s hoping to raise $1250.
