Virtual Triathlon Challenge

My Activity Tracking

Your support to my challenge has helped me provide:

204

minutes of Breakthrough T1D research bringing us closer to a cure for T1D.

OR

102

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.

OR

8

children to have an initial screening test to help to detect T1D in its earliest stages to prevent un-diagnosed complications.

400,000 people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, I want to change that.

I have registered for the Virtual Triathlon, an challenge for Breakthrough T1D (the type 1 diabetes charity). From 1 February to 29 March, I will be swimming, cycling and running towards a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D).

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.

T1D & Me

Saturday 11th Jan
This year will be my 10 year diaversary (diabetic anniversary) and I wanted to do something to remember it by and to push myself to my limits.
I have always been very positive with my diagnosis and have always done things to help me with my blood sugar control but for the past 2/3 years I have struggled with my confidence with meeting new people and having to tell my story. After nearly 10 years I have also just wanted to take a little break from my diabetes because it is a constant thing in my mind 24/7: 
What's my blood sugar? 
How many carbs is in this? 
Do I feel low? 
Do I feel high? 
How many units of insulin do I need? 
+ all the other 180 decisions we have to make on top of normal life so I think it's fair to say I need / want a break lol. 

It would be amazing if you could donate / support just even £1 to diabetes research so maybe I could make even one less decision a day to make my life easier it would mean the world!
