The Diabetes Online Community is raising funds for MetUpUk to support our friend and her family as she navigates the loss of her incredible Mama, Mary Huckle. 

Mary was a powerful advocate within the cancer community and along the way empowered and inspired so many in their own advocacy journeys, whether for themselves or on behalf of others. 

Mary’s daughter is an integral part of our community having been amongst the founding members. Ellie has herself become a powerful advocate, and we are all feeling the magnitude of her loss. Raising money for MetUpUk feels like the appropriate way for us to show our support and gratitude.

MetUpUk is a relatively small charity which raises awareness and funds for research into stage 4 metastatic cancer, which kills an average of 31 women a day in the UK. Mary was a staunch supporter of their work.
