If you've found your way here ... I hope you'll choose to donate and support this intrepid adventure. Having been diagnosed T1D (type 1 diabetic) in October 2023, I am aware of how fortunate I am thanks to research and commitment of all who travel before me.

I'm joining a trek up Toubkal (Atlas Mountains, Morocco) - most of us are T1D, supported by a Diabetes Specialist Nurse (DSN). All of the money raised will go to Breakthrough Diabetes T1 https://www.breakthrought1d.org/ who are focused upon improving the lives of all with T1D. They've already taught me so much; funding research, providing resources, talks, updates and support.

I've already begun upscaling my fitness and preparing for the October Trek - it's exciting and daunting; and gives me an opportunity to raise funds for this awesome organisation. I've never done such a trek before, and who knows whether I'll do so again. I'll post updates to my LinkedIn account, and you're welcome to contact me SheilinaSomani@gmail.com.
