Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In August last year i was lucky enough to be matched with the most special dog I could have wished for called Marla.
Marla is a Medical Detection Dog and has been trained to detect and warn me when my blood glucose levels are dropping too low or going too high. I don't always recognise when my blood glucose falls dangerously low and I am at risk of having a seizure or becoming unconscious, this is a worry at night as I will not wake up. My Mum would regularly check my blood glucose levels throughout the night while I slept. But now I have Marla to keep me safe, we are all much happier and relaxed.
I would love it if Medical Detection Dogs could train more dogs like this to help other people with medical conditions but they are very expensive to train, it costs £11,200 with ongoing yearly support costs of £750.
