newly diagnosed adults are provided much needed information, tools and support from our Breakthrough T1D Adult Pack.
400,000 people currently live with type 1 diabetes in the UK and I want to play my part in changing that.
I’m joining Team Breakthrough T1D conquering the Yorkshire Three Peaks Trek on Saturday 18 April. I’ll be trekking knowing I'm helping make a difference to the lives of people living with type 1.
Breakthrough T1D fund world-class research that one day will cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes and its complications. Breakthrough T1D also support the type 1 community and campaign for broader access to life-changing treatments. Their collaborations with the best researchers in the world have led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment.
Please can you help me smash my fundraising target of £300? With your support and your generous donations, we can fund Breakthrough T1D’s important work. Just £20 could help towards the next big breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.
Together, we can help Breakthrough T1D towards its vision of a world without type 1 diabetes.

Why I am taking on this challenge
Thursday 15th Jan This is a challenge I've always wanted to complete and supporting this diabetes charity seems the perfect excuse now that I'm a member of this exclusive, but somewhat challenging, club. I did complete a 3rd of it having climbed Ingleborough on a primary school trip in 1977 when I didn't need glucose tablets to get me up and my joints were certainly a lot smoother.
Time to start planning the training
Thursday 15th Jan So on a very wet January day I'm looking out of the window and thinking today is not the day to start my training but may be I should start to plan my training, although if it's this wet in Yorkshire in April then may be I should. No I'll stay dry for now and think about doing some planning ... ShareThank you to my Sponsors
