Welcome to my 62 Miles in October challenge profile page for Diabetes UK.

A year! A whole year of living without my pancreas!! This time last year my 12 hour surgery had started and I’m so glad it’s a distant memory.

In an attempt to build back some stamina and start to get a bit more active at this stage of my recovery I’ve decided to attempt to complete 62 miles in October for Diabetes UK (I’ve roped in some recruits to help me 💕). Living with type 3c diabetes is a huge life adjustment and although I’m glad to not be suffering with pancreatitis, dealing with diabetes day in day out brings its challenges. It’s a huge mental strain that never goes away and I don’t think people truly appreciate that until you deal with it first hand, because I certainly didn’t.

If you’re able, I’d be so grateful for any donations to go towards funding research for life-changing breakthroughs that will help improve diabetes care and treatment for all those affected 💙🧡
