The James Norton Birthday JDRF Donation Project 2024. Thanks for taking the time to visit THE most important JustGiving page you’ll find this July.The Blurb: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.The Birthday Dedication: He's been around officially since 18th July 1985 and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 22 years old. To honour one of Britain's finest actors, the compassionate support he shows other people living with type 1 diabetes, the advocacy he offers generously to charities and organisations working tirelessly in the field of type 1 diabetes research, and for just generally being a complete nincompoop of the most glorious kind, please help make James Norton's 39th birthday (now officially over the hill) especially special by donating to a cause that is close to his pancreas. He will love everyone for doing so. He loves everyone, anyway. He'll just love everyone that little bit more. And we could all do with a bit more loving these days. Especially from the likes of him. Whatever you can spare, however small, is of equal importance and will be received with much gratitude and appreciation. It is a butterfly effect.The Thanks: On behalf of the truly one and only Nortonnalia Bonobo Hominidae and his Type 1 community, Dickens would like to thank everyone from the top of the bottom of his 300 million olfactory receptors. And his skewiff lower left whisker. Thank you.Thirty Nine Happy Extra Special Woofs, Licks and Tailspins in a row (Christ, it’s increasing every year and I don’t know how to cope - I’ve officially reached out for some help and support, it’s a bit slow coming but I’m still hanging on by the merest of paws) which is all pretty exhausting, and now he needs to lie down.The Declaration: For the sake of full transparency, Dickens would like it to be known that he wished to set the target at £1m. He was ordered to change it and practise humility. He is now currently working out how many sausages 10,000 smackers will buy for the staff and researchers at JDRF. Because Sausage, in particular Sage Sausage with Apple and Spice, makes everything better.

Edit. No matter what anyone says, this page will stay open until the £1m mark is hit. Even when I’ve snuffed it. No pressure.

Seriously: Thank You. Thank you. Thank you… To everyone who has contributed thus far. It means everything to this black old dog. Ta, everyone. 🖤
