400,000 people currently live with type 1 diabetes in the UK and I want to play my part in changing that.

I’m joining Team Breakthrough T1D for Breakthrough T1D Trek: Ben Nevis on Saturday 5 July. I’ll be trekking knowing I'm helping make a difference to the lives of people living with type 1.

Breakthrough T1D fund world-class research that one day will cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes and its complications. Breakthrough T1D 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 my fundraising target of £300? With your support and your generous donations, we can fund Breakthrough T1D’s important work. Just £20 could help towards the next big breakthrough. Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated.

Together, we can help Breakthrough T1D towards its vision of a world without type 1 diabetes.

Personal Story

Monday 5th May
Just over 5 years ago I was aware of Diabetes but didn't know much about the condition but then in January 2020 my daughter Jessica was diagnosed with Type 1 in her first year of senior school and just before COVID lock downs. 

In the past 5 years I've witnessed her having daily struggles in managing her blood sugar levels and am proud of how she isn't allowing the condition to define her. 

I'm trekking up Ben Nevis on 5th July for Jessica and others who have to live with T1D every day, to raise vital funds for Breakthrough T1D for continued research in finding a cure and lastly a personal achievement for me. 

Please help me raise some money any amount will make a difference
