London Bridges Challenge 2017 · 1 October 2017 ·
Two years ago our amazing son , grandson , nephew Godson and friend was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Never in a million years did I expect this condition to come knocking at our door but Sadly it did and turned our world upside down . Arlo has to inject himself with insulin , has to monitor his blood sugar levels every single day and count every carb on every bit of food and drink that he consumes ! Without any of these interventions he could end up seriously unwell or die.
As parents we can take a day off from the needles, testing and counting but for Arlo it is a 365 days of the year condition that cannot be ignored.
Every day he inspires us all with his bravery
Everyday he makes us laugh and smile with his cheekiness .
Everyday he makes us proud.
We hope in the future that as Arlo grows up there will finally be a cure for this horrid condition .
That's why we are doing this challenge to raise money as Arlo says " So the scientists can find a cure."
Arlo's buddies, family and special friends are coming together to walk 10 miles from West to East London along Londons iconic bridges .
This is our page please sponsor us so we can help the scientists find a cure .
Many thanks
