400,000 people currently live with type 1 diabetes in the UK and we want to play our part in changing that.
Our world was turned upside down in November 2023 when our eldest daughter, Alys, aged 3, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
We are joining Team JDRF for Climb 1 For Type 1: Ben Nevis on Saturday 17 August. We’ll be hiking knowing we are helping make a difference to the lives of people living with type 1, including Alys.
JDRF UK fund world-class research that one day will cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes and its complications. JDRF also support the type 1 community and campaign for broader access to life-changing treatments. Their collaborations with the best researchers in the world have led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment.
Please can you help me smash our fundraising target of £600? With your support and your generous donations, we can fund JDRF UK’s important work. Just £20 could help towards the next big breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.
Together, we can help JDRF towards its vision of a world without type 1 diabetes.
Thank you so much. Lots of love, Kristian, Lauren, Alys and Eleri x

Good luck both. You’ve obviously done lots of research into Type 1 Diabetes which helps to deal with th e condition. However, when it’s your child it’s a different ball game but you are doing amazing and Alys will adapt as she grows with the constant support from her Parents and her Family .
