Community One Walk Bristol

We're stronger together

I’m taking part in One Walk Bristol to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1!

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 - Thank you!

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. 


Thank you to my Sponsors

Toby, I read your story in the school newsletter and wanted to sponsor you & say how amazing I think you are. I work for Abbott, a company that makes continuous glucose monitors, so I know how much effort it takes to manage Type 1 diabetes every day. What you’re doing with your sponsored walk is brilliant. While some people might just complain about their condition, you’ve chosen to do something positive and raise money to help others. I know it can be a constant challenge and a worry for your parents, but by getting out there and doing this, you’re helping change the future one step at a time. I hope you make some great friends along the way during your walk. You are brilliant. Good luck!
