Breakthrough T1D Trek: Yorkshire Three Peaks

Let's get physical 💪

Alex training with me for Yorkshire Three Peaks, 9 mils in 2hr 39 mins..  

Fighting Type 1 Together: Our Family’s Story 💙

Trekking the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge as a family is more than just a physical challenge for us — it’s something deeply personal.

Type 1 diabetes is close to our hearts because both of our sons live with it every single day. It’s a condition that never pauses. There are no days off from blood sugar checks, insulin calculations, alarms through the night, or the constant balancing act between activity, food, and energy levels. Behind every normal-looking day is careful planning, resilience, and courage.

This trek represents our way of turning that daily challenge into something positive.

As a family, we’ll be climbing over 24 miles across three peaks, pushing ourselves physically and mentally — but our sons already do that every day while managing Type 1 diabetes. Taking on this challenge together is our way of standing beside them, showing our pride in their strength, and raising awareness for the reality of life with Type 1.

We are fundraising for Breakthrough T1D UK, a charity dedicated to improving treatments and accelerating progress toward a cure. Every donation helps support research, innovation, and life-changing support for families like ours.

This journey is for our boys, for the wider Type 1 community, and for a future where no family has to live with the constant demands of this condition.

Thank you for supporting us every step of the way. 💙

Nicola And Simon

Our amazing Son Alex, As you take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks, I just want you to know how incredibly proud dad and I are of you. What you’re doing isn’t just a physical challenge, it’s a testament to your strength, courage, and determination living with Type 1 every single day. You face more than most, yet you keep pushing forward with resilience and heart. That inspires me more than you’ll ever realise. Today, every step you take is a reminder that Type 1 doesn’t define you, you define it. There may be tough moments along the way, but I know you’ve got the strength to get through them. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and remember we are with you cheering you on every step of the way. You’ve already won in our eyes just by showing up and taking this on. We love you so much, go smash it ❤️ Love always, Mum & Dad xx
