Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am proud to be taking on the TCS London Marathon 2026 for Breakthrough T1D. I was lucky enough to get a ballot place for the London Marathon 2026, and knew instantly who I would want to fundraise for.
Breakthrough T1D has literally been a life changing charity for our family. They were there in the first moments of Theo's diagnosis, supporting us as we learnt how to manage and provide his care by providing us with equipment to help with carb counting, something that is needed for everything Theo eats, and providing us with a Rufus bear that we learnt how to inject with. They have funded research and lobbied for better Type 1 care, including the amazing closed loop technology that Theo now benefits from, keeping him in a healthy range for longer periods and greatly reducing overnight hypos. They continue to provide us access to research, guidance, advice and a community that helps us feel less alone in the everyday challenges Theo faces.
Breakthrough T1D are the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy charity. They help make everyday life with T1D better while driving toward cures.
Today, they are opening doors closed by a diagnosis of T1D. They do this by connecting the brightest minds and investing in the most promising research, campaigning for access to treatments and technology and supporting the T1D community.
Tomorrow, they will make this condition a thing of the past.
Please give whatever you can and help Breakthrough T1D continue their incredible work!
