Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Me and a friend are taking on a 12-hour darts marathon in aid of Diabetes UK.
Around 5.8 million people in the UK, that's roughly 1 in 12, are living with Diabetes. Until I met someone dealing with this condition (type 1 diabetes) I had no idea the effects it has on someone and their family. It consumes every minute of every day and is a constant battle to simply maintain your own health.
Donations to this cause will not only help raise awareness of this condition but also help people receive the care they need when being diagnosed with this condition, help train new health care professionals and 24-hour phone helpline operators on how to help those affected deal with the multitude of issues they face and to kick start investment into high-quality research projects which could shape the future of diabetes care.
Please consider donating to this cause. No matter how big or small, every donation helps. This event will be streamed live on TikTok and Twitch @jacquesknott
