400,000 people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, and the staff at Breakthrough T1D want to change that.

So, we are taking part in The 400,000 Step Challenge for Breakthrough T1D to help fund vital research to cure, treat, and prevent type 1 diabetes and supports the wellbeing of the community. 

Every £11 could help a recently diagnosed child no longer feel alone with their type 1 diabetes. 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.

Every £100 could pay for one person to be screened for type 1 diabetes, to help prevent undiagnosed complications and save lives.

Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help to cure type 1 diabetes!
