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!

The hamster wheel of T1D

Tuesday 11th Jun
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 4 and have managed all the different types of syringes,( having had 116800 injections ), needles,  urine testing kits, finger pricking for blood sugars and now some 65 years later, due to research resulting in the closed loop system life is a little easier to manage.
People do not realise how difficult it is living  with diabetes. The high sugars, the low sugars, the working out carbs before eating, can I exercise now. question and the constant daily challenges. These are all daily things that we have to cope with without ever having a break. 
The more money that goes into research the better our lives will become. 
Whatever amount you are able to donate will be very much appreciated.

Thank you to my Sponsors
