Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Type 1 diabetes came into my life 6 and a half years ago when my youngest son Ben was rushed to hospital, seriously ill, and diagnosed at just 18mths old. Type 1 diabetes is a treatable condition. It is possible to lead a healthy full life. However this takes a LOT of work. It affects every minute of every day. For Ben this means multiple blood tests, canula changes, monitoring/weighing/counting everything he eats. Exercise, excitement, emotions, changes in the weather can all make type 1 tricky to control. For Ben and every child and adult affected by type 1 we need a cure, and until then better treatment options. 

So.... In August Andy and I will attempt to climb the most Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Munro's. And cycle in between them. All in the space of 8 days! 😳 A challenge devised by Andy and never before attempted, every penny raised going to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 

Every donation is very much appreciated!

Wish us luck!!

Ruth & Andy
