Story

On Thursday 9th October 2025 we reached the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro!!

Please donate what you can to help me reach my target for Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), the type 1 diabetes charity. £19,341 represents one pound for every foot of height of the summit of Kilimanjaro!

There are currently 400,000 people in the UK with type 1 diabetes, over 29,000 of them are children...one of them is my son, William.

JDRF are committed to eradicating type 1 diabetes and its effects for everyone in the UK with type 1, and at risk of developing it. Through world-class research, JDRF are working to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes.

Every £ raised makes a huge difference, so please give whatever you can to support me and JDRF.
