Ashton De-Leon

Virtual Triathlon Challenge

Help Ashton raise £200!

My Activity Tracking

Your support to my challenge has helped me provide:

212

minutes of Breakthrough T1D research bringing us closer to a cure for T1D.

OR

106

printed copies of Breakthrough T1D's Straight to the Point guide. It covers vital information for anyone living with T1D to help manage the condition.

OR

8

children to have an initial screening test to help to detect T1D in its earliest stages to prevent un-diagnosed complications.

400,000 people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, I want to change that.

I have registered for the Virtual Triathlon, an challenge for Breakthrough T1D (the type 1 diabetes charity). From 1 February to 29 March, I will be swimming, cycling and running towards a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Breakthrough T1D funds world-class research, supports the T1D community and campaigns for broader NHS provision of treatments and technologies. Their collaborations with the best researchers in the world have led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment.

This is where you come in. With your support and your generous donations, we can fund Breakthrough T1D’s important work. Just £1 could help towards the next big T1D breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.

My Journey and reasoning, Diabetes awareness and support

Monday 17th Feb
For those that do or don’t know me, I have always grown up around type 1 diabetes. On a basis of my dad having it and always having to look after him with struggles due to hypoglycaemia and watching him manage his carbohydrate tracking and insulin intake each and everyday. 

If you do know me you will know that i lost any further aspirations and goals due to diabetes as i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the start of february 2024 after failing a medical within the the Royal Marines and being rejected from there service due to this health complication. 

Nether the less, the iron man challenge is testament to resilience and determination to me, preparing and training for this charity event requires immense dedication by thousands of people who are also taking part in this event, and i believe it mirrors the daily challenges that us as a collective who deal with type 1 diabetes faces and overall with anyone’s donation i’m hoping this will go to a great cause and really help fund a potential cure !
Thank you for taking your time to read, i hope that you can help me achieve my goal.
