Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. On Sunday 27 April 2025 I will be taking on the TCS London Marathon to raise money for Breakthrough T1D ( formerly JDRF), the type 1 diabetes charity.

My son Thomas was diagnosed with T1 diabetes when he was 12. It’s hard to describe the enormous impact of this on every day life. Tom has been lucky to benefit from the latest technology- he has an insulin pump and a CGM which constantly monitors his blood glucose. The technology helps but still requires a lot of input from him and for constant decisions to be made 24-7. It’s exhausting, there is no break- ever. The mental toll of this is significant so although the tech is great what we really need is a cure.

Breakthrough T1D are committed to eradicating type 1 diabetes. Their research has led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment and is laying the foundations for a cure. Breakthrough T1D supports everyone living with type 1 diabetes, by working with policy makers to increase availability of treatments and by providing information and resources to help people manage their condition.

Every £ raised will help Breakthrough T1D work towards to next big breakthrough in type 1 treatment, so please give generously and know that your support really matters.
