🔜 Berlin Marathon

Hello, my name is John, and I am a runner with type 1 diabetes who has 2 huge goals: finishing the 2025 Berlin Marathon and raising £1,800 for those who are impacted by type 1 diabetes (T1D). This will be my 5/6 Abbott World Major Marathon — help me achieve the Six Star Medal as a person with T1D by supporting this fundraiser that backs Breakthrough T1D and its groundbreaking research for the millions of patients, families, and communities impacted by diabetes.

On my ninth birthday, I was diagnosed with T1D. Since then, I have been passionate about improving diabetes care and technology. With T1D, a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin — a hormone essential to turning food into energy. The daily life of someone with T1D includes insulin injections, disruptive glucose monitoring, sleepless nights, and wishing for a tomorrow where this struggle doesn’t exist.

Living with T1D means there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope. Your generosity will help JDRF fund life-changing breakthroughs to remove the incredible daily burden of this disease until it no longer exists.

Thank you for your support!
