Thomas was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic just over a year ago. Although he manages his diabetes with daily insulin injections, it is restrictive and painful at times. Therefore, I would like to raise the money to get an artificial pancreas to help stabilise his condition and allow him a more independent life.

The money raised will go directly towards the cost of having the operation and the yearly costs involved with having an artificial pancreas. There are no plans currently to be able to have this operation on the NHS which is why we are raising money.
