We're stronger together

I’m taking part in One Walk London to help raise money for diabetes! 

As most of you are aware, my baby, Lillie, was diagnosed type 1 in November 2021, since then our lives have changed massively! She was just 4 years old!  

Lillie is amazing and deals with this horrible disease so well every day. As her Mum, I am completely heartbroken with what she has to deal with, I try my best to make it easier for her. 

I am doing this for Lillie and for all her type 1 friends, I would never wish this on anyone. 

If I could, I would give her my pancreas and let it be me who has diabetes! But they can’t do this, so instead I pray everyday for a cure. 

I will never stop fighting for a cure for diabetes and I will do anything in my power to support this. 

If you can donate, please do. Any amount is appreciated. 

400,000+ people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, and with your support and your generous donations, we can fund JDRF UK’s important work towards finding a cure. Here are just a few examples of what your money can do...

Every £10 could help run a research laboratory for 10 minutes - bringing us 10 minutes closer to finding a cure for type 1 diabetes.

Every £25 could pay for an hour of research nurse support for someone involved in a clinical trial, which could ultimately lead to the next big breakthrough. Without this support, there would be no trial.

Every £50 could enable a scientist to use lasers for two hours, allowing them to study the immune cells at the heart of type 1, monitoring the success of clinical trials and further improving knowledge into type 1.

Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help JDRF to eradicate type 1 diabetes!
