Rachelle Ward and Greg Halloran have sourced donations from various Riverina businesses to create a "wine wall" for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) 2014 Gala Ball in Sydney on May 3.

The family decided they would like to do something to assist the fund-raising evening after one of their children was diagnosed with type one diabetes late last year.

(JDRF) is the world's largest charitable supporter of type 1 diabetes research.

Ms Ward said gathering the donations for the event was a way the family could help.

"When you have a child that has been diagnosed you do feel quite helpless," she said.

"We thought this way we were doing something to contribute (to fund-raising).

"Greg is a winemaker and all of the businesses we've approached have been really supportive of what we are doing.

"In the end it didn't take long to pull together."

JDRF supports Australian diabetes research via the strategic provision of funding, investing over $160 million into Australian research to date.

The organisation also plays a key role in advising and influencing health policy direction across all levels of government and building community awareness of type one diabetes.

The wine and produce will be auctioned off as part of the gala evening, with all proceeds going to JDRF.

Ms Ward said the organisation also offered a peer support group that she has found worthwhile.

"It would be great to have more of these kinds of things in our area," she said.
