Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
This forthcoming September 2020. Tony, Tracy and I (Phil) will be running the great north run. JDRF is a charity which is very close to my heart. In 2018 my daughter Beatrice at 8years old was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. A life changing disability which is an auto-immune condition. Not caused by diet or for any reason which is currently known, unfortunately at this time there is no cure. From the moment Béatrice was diagnosed JDRF have been there with Beatrice, Lindsey and I. We have an amazing medical team at Whiston Hospital. The Paediatric Diabetes’s team are nothing short of amazing. Type 1 is always there day and night, it’s not a condition that can be easily managed, 42 different reason on why your blood sugars can go up or down all of which have significant impacts on Béatrice’s body. Good control helps but unfortunately it comes at huge scarifies and continual monitoring through the day and through the night. The condition is life threatening resulting in hyperglycaemic coma and ultimately death should symptoms be ignored. JDRF work tirelessly to find a cure, they also work to minimise the impact of TYPE1 that everyone who has the condition/disability or their loved ones face everyday.
I am extremely proud to be running for the first time in my life (the people who know me will understand this!) with two incredible colleagues. This year myself and Tony have also undertaken significant changes in our lifestyles. Tony has lost over 100lbs and myself just over 42kg. Tracy has kept us motivated in being our fitness guru!
I personally want to thank them both for what we have decided to do and their support, I am and always will be eternally grateful.
We would really appreciate your donations and thank-you for your support.
