Story

On 16th May 2025, our world changed when our amazing little girl, Saoirse, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. At just 7 years old, she has had to face daily injections, finger pricks, and the constant challenges that come with managing this condition — but she has shown incredible strength, bravery, and resilience every single day.

To support her and everyone living with diabetes, Saoirse and I will be taking on the challenge of walking/running 62 miles throughout October in aid of Diabetes UK. That’s 2 miles every day, raising awareness and vital funds for research, support, and ultimately, a better future for children and adults like Saoirse.

Every step we take will be for her — and for the thousands of families who live with Type 1 Diabetes every day.

If you’re able to, please consider sponsoring us. Every donation, big or small, will make a huge difference. Together, we can help Diabetes UK continue their incredible work.

Thank you so much for your support 💙
