My Activity Tracking
Your support to my challenge has helped me provide:
1585
minutes of Breakthrough T1D research bringing us closer to a cure for T1D.
792
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.
63
children to have an initial screening test to help to detect T1D in its earliest stages to prevent un-diagnosed complications.
I want to smash Type 1 diabetes - let's find a cure!
I am a 9 year old boy with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). I was diagnosed when I was 3. I would love to raise money to fund research for a cure and better treatment as T1D is relentless.
I have registered for the Half Iron-man Challenge, which is a Virtual Triathlon. From 1 February to 29 March, I will be swimming 1.93km, cycling 90.1km and running 21.1km towards a cure for T1D to raise money for Breakthrough T1D (the type 1 diabetes charity).
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. Your donation, whatever the amount, could help towards the next big T1D breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.
Thank you, Marcus
