Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I had never heard of the charity JDRF until my amazing niece Rebekah was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just 22 months old.
We very nearly lost her as she was in severe DKA before she was diagnosed and my sister had to really push doctors to check her blood glucose.
Thankfully she came through it but it changed her's and her family's lives forever and there are so many families who weren't so lucky.
So, to raise awareness of the symptoms, the reason and the impacts of T1 Diabetes and raise money for JDRF who are searching for a cure, I am going to cycle (on my exercise bike lol) the distance from Toronto, where insulin was invented to Montreal (605km), and I hope you will support by donating what you can to this fantastic charity.
