This February I'm taking on Breakthrough T1D's Run Challenge, running100km to support their vital research and community support.

Every kilometer and £ raised through my challenge is a tribute to the resilience of the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community and a step closer to the cure.

I have worked within the NHS as a Diabetes Nurse for 30 years and have close family and friends living with type 1 diabetes. Living with type 1 diabetes presents many challenges and people deal with these challenges in many different ways, it’s far from easy.

Breakthrough T1D are providing valuable funds to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and to support children, young people and adults and their families when diagnosed and in their journey living with T1D.

Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help to cure type 1 diabetes!
