My Activity Tracking

Your support to my challenge has helped me provide:

228

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

OR

114

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

9

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 £20 could help towards the next big T1D breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.

Charlie’s story

Tuesday 4th Feb
Two days before his 6th birthday, the night of his birthday party, everything changed when we arrived at A&E with Charlie presenting with a limp that day. With a simple finger prick on arrival we were given the news Charlie was type one diabetic. Thankfully for the limp (completely unrelated to diabetes) Charlie is still here today. Forever greatful to this charity for providing Charlie with Rufus the bear that Made taken insulin injections a minimum of 5 times a day that little bit easier. Hopefully in Charlie’s lifetime a cure is something that’s possible 🙏
