Last year i watched my little nieces, amelia 4 and lilly 6 take part in the one walk. Amelia lives with type 1 diabetes. It was the hottest day of the year, their little legs smashed the challenge and seeing how proud they were had me in awe. I promised amelia then that i would be beside her on the next one and that i would drag her uncle jay along too, and when it comes to auntie duties - a promise can not be broken! 

It may be a little 5k, but those that know me well, know that I am not a walker!! 

So 5k will still be a little challenging 🙊. 

However, most importantly we will be doing it all together, as a family to show amelia she is not alone in the fundraising close to her heart, but also never alone in life ❤️ 

Thank you for your donations. 

I’m taking part in One Walk Cardiff 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!
