My Activity Tracking

Your support to my challenge has helped me provide:

287

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

OR

143

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

11

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.

I have registered for the Virtual Triathlon, an 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.

This is where you come in. With your support and your generous donations, we can fund Breakthrough T1D’s important work. Just £20 could help towards the next big T1D breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.

Type 1 diabetes

Sunday 12th Jan
As you may know that my Millie has type1 diabetes and as her mum I have supported her all the way! As this year marks her 10 year diagnosis, myself and Millie are doing the half Ironman. 

As a parent of a type1 diabetic it really comes with highs and lows.. literally ;) Watching someone who you love go through so many challenges on a daily basis such as testing, injecting, highs, lows, carb counting, and how it affects them mentally and emotionally! 

All that said, I couldn’t be more proud of the young woman Millie has become, and how amazing she is in dealing with the condition she has! And how much she’s taught me that you can do anything no matter what life throws at you! 

So I would be so grateful that if you can donate anything to this charity! Let’s help people who live with this condition and raise as much as we can so one day there could be a breakthrough in a cure! 🙏🏻
Thank you
