Jacob 💕

Sunday 27th Apr
Hi everybody, 
Just over a week ago my 10 year old son, Jacob was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Our whole world was turned upside down after 4 days in hospital we came home and it's been one big rollercoaster since. Jacob has learned to test his blood sugars and even inject himself with insulin, he's learnt how to work out his dosage and even starting to recognise the signs of a hypo. As you can imagine we're still working to get his insulin levels correct and it's been a challenge to say the least. He's had good days and bad days, he's been brave and shown so much strength whilst clearly finding navigating this new way of life challenging and unfair. We came across this event and decided it would be amazing for Jacob to meet some like minded people, maybe find some new friends in similar positions and learn from other people's experiences, all whilst raising money to help find a cure for T1D. If anybody can spare just a few pounds we would be greatful, Jacobs younger sister Everleigh will be walking beside him every step of the way to support him 💕
