Each donation counts twice as much in April!

We’re getting closer to our goal and are nearly at the halfway point which is £250! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far ! We’re both incredibly grateful for every single contribution, no matter the size 🤍

April is a really important month for our fundraiser because every donation is being DOUBLED by the BBC until April 14th. That means your support can have twice the impact in helping children affected by type 1 diabetes.

With just 12 days left of matched donations, now is the perfect time to give if you can, it would honestly mean so much to us.

Thank you again for all the love and support, let’s keep it going 💙

Message from Cabhán

In April 2025, at 21 years old, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and my life hasn’t been the same since.

T1D is an autoimmune condition. It is not caused by diet, weight, or lifestyle. It isn’t something you can prevent, and it isn’t the same as Type 2. It happens when your immune system attacks the cells that produce insulin, and from that moment on, you rely on injections and constant monitoring to stay alive.

My dad also lives with Type 1. There’s still no clear research proving exactly how it’s passed down genetically, but having it so close to home makes it feel even heavier. It’s hard knowing this is lifelong with no cure. Every day now means needles, carb counting, blood sugar alarms, and the fear of things going wrong.

To support research, awareness, and better treatment, my girlfriend and I will be walking 10K in support of the charity and everyone affected by Type 1 Diabetes. We’re doing this to help fund finding a cure and to help people understand this disease.

If you can donate or even just share, it would mean more than you know.
