400,000 people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, I want to change that. I’m taking part in The 400,000 Step Challenge for breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1! Every £11 could help a recently diagnosed child no longer feel alone with their type 1 diabetes. They now have 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 £115 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. Together, we can help to cure type 1 diabetes!
