This February I'm taking on Breakthrough T1D's Run Challenge, running 100km to support their vital research and community support.

Last year my son Colby was diagnosed with Type 1 at the age of 3. A condition I knew little to nothing about. It’s lifelong & life changing. I’m running 100k (🤦🏻‍♂️) throughout February, raising money to help the people, who help people such as my son and millions of others. Thank you so much for helping, in any small way 💙

Every £11 could help a recently diagnosed child no longer feel alone with their T1D. They now have a fluffy best friend called Rufus who also has type 1 diabetes, and special felt patches on his test and injection sites to help children practice on.

Every £25 could pay for an hour of research nurse support for someone involved in a clinical trial, which could ultimately lead to the next big breakthrough. Without this support there would be no trial.
