Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may know, I am type 1 diabetic and have been for 51 years (I know hard to believe I'm a day over 35 🤣) and my son Dillon is also type 1 for 10 years this year. My brother, 2 nieces and my nephew are all also Type 1 and also have been for well over 15 years also.

My amazing, fabulous baby girl, Sara seen this and asked me if we could please do this to try to get as much funding as possible to make that possibility of a cure that wee bit closer. How could, I possibly have refused....

Speaking personally the improvements in diabetes care have been phenomenal in my lifetime - the difference from the treatment when I was diagnosed to when Dillon was diagnosed is honestly night and day. The technology nowadays is amazing. However, (always a but with me, I know!) that said, it is still a major constant worry as that risk of a hypo leading to death is ever present for every, mum, dad, gran, granda, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, friend of anyone with Type 1 diabetes.

.... So please if you can, please donate whatever you can as honestly every single penny does makes a difference

.....also the entertainment value for anyone who sees me in the street, running, walking or joking will be worth it as I am that person who never does any form of exercise this is truly going to be a big ask 😬
