We’re fundraising to raise more awareness of Type 1 diabetes

We are taking part in One Walk Manchester to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1! 

September 2023 , Isabelle was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She had become very unwell, lost a lot of weight, was constantly thirsty, and exhausted and very close to going into a diabetic coma when she was admitted into hospital.  Her life changed forever the day we found out she would be insulin dependent for life. I’m very proud to say Isabelle  will be walking this 5K with me to help raise funds for JDRF 💙 we will be very grateful for your donations. 

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!
