Story

3rd Time Lucky 🍀 

On Sunday 29th May 2022 I’ll finally be running the Edinburgh Half Marathon that I signed up for in 2020 

T1 Diabetes joined our family on the 14th June 2013. What started out as a birthday celebration turned into a nightmare rush to hospital.  With an unbelievable diagnosis.  We knew nothing of diabetes and to suddenly be told your child now has this condition for the rest of her life was heartbreaking.  We were thrown on to that tightrope of managing blood sugar/insulin. Daily injections, finger pricks and constant testing slowly became everyday part of life.  Maintaining the perfect number is no easy feat as anyone who has T1 knows that diabetes likes to misbehave.  

We have come a long way now and the technology  has improved so much in the 9 years since diagnosis.  I firmly believe that a cure will come.  

Research costs money though and I hope you will all help me raise as much as possible 💙
