Update- Due to the current Covid-19 situation and lockdown Diabetes UK have cancelled the Thames Path Walk. We are waiting for information from them regarding taking part in another sponsored walk at a later date. Thanks to everyone for all your donations, we will be taking part in another event with Diabetes UK at some point & all donations raised and further donations will still be going to the charity. We will keep you posted when we know more. Scott and Hazel
Welcome to our justgiving page. We hope by taking part in the Thames Path Walk for Diabetes UK we can raise money for the charity to help with the research they do in trying to improve the lives of those living with Diabetes and to also help fund research that will hopefully one day lead to a cure for Diabetes.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes back in 2018 when I was admitted to hospital for 4 days after becoming very poorly. Its been a massive adjustment not just for me but also for my family. Some days it feels like an uphill battle but I try to never let it stop me. The daily carb counting, insulin injections and finger pricking are all things I never thought I'd ever have to do. My partner Scott and I met the same year I was diagnosed, he's been a great support through everything and we've learnt about Type 1 together over the last 2 years. We both love walking and can't wait to take part in this 10 mile walk along the Thames Path on 3rd May 2020. Please help us raise funds for Diabetes UK with a small donation.
Thank you to everyone for your support and donations.
