We're stronger together

Kaci was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes over 7 years ago and our life got turned upside down, I still remember it like it was yesterday. It’s amazing how much technology has improved over the years and I’m forever grateful for the insulin pump making Kaci’s life that little bit easier. I have not been able to take part in a walk for a few years as it stopped because of Covid and Aberdeen was last to get back up and running but on the 5th October (my bday yay 🥳) we are taking part in One Walk Aberdeen 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!
