Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you know this is a charity that is very close to my heart. Our son, William, was diagnosed out of the blue with Type 1 Diabetes in March 2023. At the time we knew nothing about this condition but now, nearly 2 years on, we understand the impact it can have on children and their families.

William has recently moved off daily injections and on to an insulin pump (which is an amazing piece of kit) which is a really positive step, and it is charities like Breakthrough T1D that strive to give people with T1D access to all the latest technology and most importantly fund research into a cure - which really does feel in touching distance!

I would be so very grateful if you could donate something to my cause, this will help motivate me on those cold, wet and dark winter nights training in Glasgow.

*Breakthrough T1D is the new brand name of JDRF - please watch this video to see an insight into life with Type 1 Diabetes:
