Toby’s walk for a cure

Tuesday 3rd Mar
As you probably already know, Toby was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just two weeks before his 7th birthday. No warning. No history of the illness. Nothing. It was an enormous shock to everyone but we had no idea then of the relentless nature of diabetes. It is always there and you never get a day off. 

Toby has been nothing short of remarkable at taking it all in his stride. But it is hard. And unfair. And just so so relentless.

He longs for a cure, to not have to make endless calculations numerous times a day, whether that be on what he is eating, how much exercise he is doing, what the temperature is like and so on. 

And that is why we are taking part in a fundraising walk with Breakthrough Type 1. We aim to raise as much money as possible to go towards the fabulous work that is going on in trying to find a cure for these Type 1 warriors. Plus it will allow Toby to meet with other children with the same condition as him, those who understand what he goes through every minute of the day.
