In Sir Ian's video made at his home, he asks the public to donate to DRWF so that we can continue our funding of diabetes research and provide day-to-day support to people with diabetes. A cause that is close to his heart...
Becky Botham, Sir Ian's Daughter, has type 1 diabetes and says:
Hi, I know this is an extremely difficult time for everyone, including those who have to self isolate. I am type 1 diabetic so I fully know how it feels. Take care and we can get through this. Lots of love to you all. Xxx
Our CEO Sarah Tutton says:
We are extremely fortunate to have Sir Ian and his family engage with our charity; helping us get lifesaving messages out to our supporters and those who live with diabetes as well as encouraging people to dig deep - enabling DRWF's commitment to fund diabetes research to continue."
As Sir Ian says, in these extremely challenging times we need our supporters now, more than we ever have - and we are truly grateful for your support.
