We are supporting three charities that directly affect members of our junior club. JDRF is one of our chosen charities as Emily who is now 7 was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 2. By supporting JDRF we hope to achieve three aims; firstly to raise money to assist JDRF in the pursuit of a cure for diabetes, secondly to raise awareness about a commonly misunderstood disease and thirdly to encourage other T1D's to join in with sport and show that diabetes doesn't prevent you from doing anything you want to in life!

Wakefield Junior Triathlon Club is all about participation and inclusivity for all; Emily loves participating and is ready to start competing in Triathlons next season. The club is very supportive and considerate of her needs and she is able to thrive and put her medical needs aside at every session and be able to do what "everyone else does"! This is her opportunity to help others and will be fully participating in running, swimming and cycling as far as she can to help the club achieve its goals!
