In September 2025, our Finley was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes. It changed our lives in a second but thanks to Finley's bravery and the overwhelming support from the Diabetes community (and his rockstar Mum, sisters, school teachers and friends), its become our new normal inside 6 months.

This February I'm taking on Breakthrough T1D's Run Challenge, running 100km to support their vital research and community support.

Every kilometer and £ raised through my challenge is a tribute to the resilience of the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community and a step closer to the cure. Every £11 could help a recently diagnosed child no longer feel alone with their T1D. When Finley was diagnosed, he wasnt alone having a fluffy best friend called Rufus who also has type 1 diabetes, and special felt patches on his test and injection sites to help children practice on.

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 £100 could pay for one person to be screened for type 1 diabetes, to help prevent undiagnosed complications and save lives.

Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Alex and Roshy xxx
