Story

Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page.

We work together at EE and are running together at The Great Manchester Run to raise money for Diabetes UK.

Matt's daughter, Jessica, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes last summer.  Type 1 Diabetes is an auto-immune disease for which there is no cure.  It is a life changing illness that involves multiple blood tests & injections per day.  Failure to control the disease can lead to many complications including loss of limbs, blindness or premature death.

Through research not only can the day to day life of sufferers be made simpler but there's also a chance a cure could be found.
