Walk Your Way

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

I’m taking part in One Walk Your Way to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1!

With your support and your generous donations, we can fund JDRF UK’s important work. Here are just a few examples of what your money can do...

£20 could enable 20 parents to return to work, safe in the knowledge that their child's type 1 diabetes will be carefully managed at school, thanks to JDRF's e-learning modules.

£65 could help a vital research project progress by paying for one hour of research time.

£115 could pay for one person to be screened for type 1 diabetes. Sadly people in the UK still die from un-diagnosed type 1 diabetes complications - this screening could stop this.

Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help JDRF to eradicate type 1 diabetes!

Our story

Wednesday 24th May
I am walking for this amazing charity in honour of our Son. My brother Sam will be joining me - possibly pushing me up the hills! 

Saturday 17th June

On Friday 28th April, our families life changed forever. Our perfect little boy was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabeties, an autoimmune disease. As my heart and mind began to break, Ollie showed a strength, I didn’t know was possible in an eight year old.
He was so brave and took it all in his stride. 

He continues to show us day in, day out just how resilient he is. With multiple daily injections, sensor applications and the highs and lows of monitoring your blood sugars.

I will be walking 15 miles - the Charnwood three peak challenge. 
I hope you will support me by sponsoring this mammoth walk and join me in the hope that one day, there may be a cure for this disease.

Good glucose vibes only ✌️
Thank you in advance.
