Virtual Triathlon Challenge

My Activity Tracking

Your support to my challenge has helped me provide:

720

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

OR

360

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

28

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.

On December 6th Isabella was taken to hospital in severe DKA and diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This is an autoimmune condition that she will have for the rest of her life. 

I have registered for the Virtual Triathlon, a 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. My hope is that within Isabella’s lifetime, they find a cure.

This is where you come in. With your support and your generous donations, we can fund Breakthrough T1D’s important work. Just £5 could help towards the next big T1D breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.

Nearly there!

Friday 21st Mar
So there’s just 1 week left to go! I’ve completed the swimming and now trying to get those miles in on the bike and runs - just back from a run along the Jinnie Trail and plan to get on the bike this evening once the kids are asleep. 

Getting closer and closer to my target of £650!!

Wow! Thank you!

Thank you everyone who has donated!
We’ve had a rough evening of hypo followed by hyper and having to be back on call with the pediatric consultant so seeing all these generations is just amazing!

Now I’ve just got to get on and do some exercise…..it’s been a while!!
