Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!
This year, I am very happy to say that 2i has selected JDRF as our chosen charity. JDRF is a non-profit organisation that funds type 1 diabetes research. Type 1 (Juvenile Diabetes) is a form of diabetes where the immune system destroys the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas.
To support this charitable cause, we have selected the following fundraising events:
- Rough Runner – Saturday 17th August
- Kilt Walk – Sunday 15th September
- Spinathon - Sunday 8th December
- Business Fives - Thursday 28th November
Below is a quote from Greg McKenna, a Principal Consultant within 2i Testing:
“As a parent of achild with Type 1 diabetes, I can say the condition is life changing. We are hugely reliant on technology to deliver insulin, take blood sugar readings andhelp us calculate insulin dosage based on food carbohydrate content and bloodsugar levels. Diabetes is a horrible condition that always needs constant attention to manage it and can significantly impact the long-term health of those who have the condition. As a family we very much appreciate the research work that JDRF do. It leads to better technology that takes more responsibility of managing the condition and hopefully we are closer to Type 1 prevention and hopefully a cure. We are very grateful to 2i for choosing JDRF to be the nominated charity this year. I will personally be undertaking some events this year to raise funds, and I hope to identify some events that the 2i team can get involved in and perhaps help raise further sponsorship."
Thank you for your support.
