One Walk Cymru 2025

We're stronger together

I’m taking part in One Walk Cymru to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1!

Breakthrough T1D funds world-class research, supports the T1D community and campaigns for broader NHS provision of treatments and technologies. Their collaborations with the best researchers in the world have led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment.

This is where you come in. With your support and your generous donations, we can fund Breakthrough T1D’s important work.

Just £20 could help towards the next big T1D breakthrough. 

Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated - Thank you!

Your support to my challenge has helped me provide:

1610

minutes of Breakthrough T1D research bringing us closer to a cure for T1D.

OR

805

printed copies of Breakthrough T1D's Straight to the Point guide. It covers vital information for anyone living with T1D to help manage the condition.

OR

64

children to have an initial screening test to help to detect T1D in its earliest stages to prevent un-diagnosed complications.

Isla's T1 Diabetes Journey

Thursday 8th May
Isla was diagnosed aged 3 with Type 1 Diabetes after showing all of the 4 T's 

- Thirsty
- Tired
- Thinner
- Toilet 

We were lucky enough that her wonderful aunt was a nurse and advised we get her checked otherwise some of those symptoms would have been missed as it was peak summer so being a tired and thirsty 3 year old was the norm.

We caught Isla's diagnosis super early but what lay ahead was a shock to us all. 

Diabetes is life changing, for everyone involved. Overnight we went from parents to doctors, administering insulin via injections, becoming carb counting pros, tech wizzes and everything in between. And our beautiful little girl had to just get on with it, there was no choice - it was so hard educating her on how permanent this change was for her. 

It was scary, heart-breaking and exhausting - still is truth be told. But every day Isla amazes us, we try to fill her with the confidence she needs to go out into the world and breakthrough her goals. Those moments when she feels "different" are so heavy hitting but we battle through and assure her she is the most amazing, caring, beautiful little girl and this one little thing does not define her. 

We're walking the T1 Breakthrough Cymru walk to further embed the fact she is not alone, she is not different and she is able to achieve anything she wants to in life. 

Isla is over the moon to raise a bit of money along the way and I know she will love reading the messages of encouragement from her friends and family - so if you are able to spare a little change please click the link to sponsor Isla. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
