Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Jon, and on 8th November 2024 my beautiful and happy daughter Ella was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and our lives would never be the same again. 💔

Before this diagnosis I never realised what a massive impact this life changing condition would have on Ella and us as a family.

As we have found out very quickly this condition requires round the clock monitoring, is extremely difficult to control and impacts every aspect of our lives.

We have been blown away with how Ella has managed to deal with this so far, but we see first hand the physical and mental challenges that she continues to face.

I am running this Marathon for Diabetes U.K, a charity which invests in scientific research, technological developments and mental health support for those living with T1D and their families.

I understand that times are difficult, however any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Love, and thanks for the support.

Jon
