One Walk London 2024

We're stronger together

I’m taking part in One Walk London 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!

Walking for Type 1 Diabetes!

Thursday 6th Jun
When Jess was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes eight months ago, it hit our family like a whirlwind. During those first two intense days and nights in hospital, while we learned about diabetes and tried to take in waves of information and learn new skills in a haze of sleeplessness and shock, Jess was given Rufus the bear, who you can see in the picture above (which Jess took when she woke up on her first morning in hospital). Rufus has been a friend to cuddle through the pain and anxiety of the many, many injections, device changes, blood tests, hospital appointments, infections, scary hypos, lifestyle upheaval and loneliness of being the only kid in school with this condition, with constant questions about the weird contraptions stuck to her limbs. 

Rufus was from JDRF, the charity we are walking for, which not only funds vital research into a cure for Type 1 Diabetes but provides thoughtful resources for children like Jess and families living with Type 1 diabetes. 

On 22 June, Jess, Tilly, Alex and I will be joining One Walk London, walking 5km to raise money for JDRF. 
It is a difficult time for many at the moment, but if you can spare any money to sponsor our walk, I can assure you it will go to a very good cause that makes a real difference to those diagnosed with Type 1 and their families.

Thank you to my Sponsors
