Story

As you may be aware our eldest daughter Iris was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes back in 10/05/2019, she battles everyday with this horrible disease. Every day being different to the next. Iris is an absolute solider and inspires me everyday. I'm taking on 400,000 Steps for JDRF and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £1 or £500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

400,000 people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, I want to change that.

I’m taking part in JDRF's 400,000 Step Challenge to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1!

With your support and your generous donations, we can fund JDRF UK’s important work. Here are just a few examples of what your money can do...

£20 could enable 20 parents to return to work, safe in the knowledge that their child's type 1 diabetes will be carefully managed at school, thanks to JDRF's e-learning modules.

£65 could help a vital research project progress by paying for one hour of research time.

£115 could pay for one person to be screened for type 1 diabetes. Sadly people in the UK still die from un-diagnosed type 1 diabetes complications - this screening could stop this.

Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help JDRF to eradicate type 1 diabetes!
