help me walk towards a world without T1D 💙

on november 14th (world diabetes day), i'm taking on the task of hosting my own walk for breakthrough T1D. the walk will be a 5 mile (8km) route, and will take place at 1pm at wollaton park.

in 2021, i was diagnosed with type one diabetes, and it completely rewired my life. i faced immense amounts of challenges, adaptations to a new lifestyle, and so much more. i'm doing this walk to raise money as i want to try and make the future of T1D as positive as possible. 

breakthrough T1D works to fund technological developments, prevention of the disease, and ultimately aims to find a cure. any donation can help to fund this. £5 can help to provide newly diagnosed T1D's and their families with information packs and support resources. £20 could enable 20 parents to return to work, safe in the knowledge that their child's type 1 diabetes will be carefully managed at school, thanks to breakthrough T1D's e-learning modules.

imagining a future where nobody has to suffer from the reality of T1D is extremely important to me. a future when the mind is free from the constant decisions, worries, and stress would mean so much to so many.

if you are able to donate, thank you so much. your donation will help breakthrough T1D to work on life-changing developments, and to ultimately find a cure. if you can't donate, joining me on the day or sharing this page means just as much.
