Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have had type 1 diabetes for 23 years since I was 8 years old. It was never something I talked openly about unless someone asked me about it. I have always felt grateful that I had a disease that was manageable to an extent. However, that does not mean I don't struggle. Experts say type 1 diabetics make an extra 180 more decisions a day on average.
The more I share about my personal experience, the more I learn from others. By sharing small wins & tricky times I hope to inspire & help those who might be just starting their own journey as well!
I have always been active both as a child & adult through dance, sports and fitness however 100 sweaty sweats is a concept that challenges & excites me. It is not about the number, but doing your personal best - and connection, community and endorphins are all great rewards. This year, the charity aspect was added which is incredible. So far there are over 1000 people who have either donated themselves or are aiming to raise money through others to all kinds of amazing charities.
I hope to raise money on this platform to support the current projects that Diabetes UK are working on - stay tuned for more specifics!
Love, Lisa
