Theocharis Ispoglou One Walk Manchester 2024

We're stronger together

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

400,000+ people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, and with your support and your generous donations, we can fund JDRF UK’s important work towards finding a cure. Here are just a few examples of what your money can do...

Every £10 could help run a research laboratory for 10 minutes - bringing us 10 minutes closer to finding a cure for type 1 diabetes.

Every £25 could pay for an hour of research nurse support for someone involved in a clinical trial, which could ultimately lead to the next big breakthrough. Without this support, there would be no trial.

Every £50 could enable a scientist to use lasers for two hours, allowing them to study the immune cells at the heart of type 1, monitoring the success of clinical trials and further improving knowledge into type 1.

Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help JDRF to eradicate type 1 diabetes!

Our journey

Tuesday 28th May

Our family's journey took a significant turn during the summer after the first lockdown when one of our twin boys, then aged 7, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. It was a shock to all of us, especially since diabetes does not run in our family. Initially, we thought his excessive thirst was just due to the summer heat. However, as his symptoms became more pronounced, we decided to check his fasting blood glucose levels. The results confirmed our fears.

Fortunately, his condition was quickly managed, preventing severe diabetic ketoacidosis and resulting in only a brief hospital stay. Today, he manages his diabetes effectively using a Dexcom G7 and insulin pens. His active engagement in sports such as tennis, athletics, basketball, and football significantly helps with the management of the condition.
