The Chana's Walk for Type 1 Diabetes

Hey everyone!

(Most) people will know that Veeran was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year over summer. Whilst it was a shock to us all, Veeran has come out stronger than ever and we're super proud of him 💪🏽. It's been an adjustment for us all but we are incredibly grateful for all the support from health professionals and the continuing advancements in medicine and technology today that allow Veeran to continue to live his life as any other child should. But to this day there is no real 'cure' to prevent or eradicate type 1 diabetes. 

The whole family (3 generations in total!) will be taking part in One Walk London to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1!

400,000+ people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, and with your support and your generous donations, we can fund JDRF UK’s important work towards finding a cure. Here are just a few examples of what your money can do...

Every £10 could help run a research laboratory for 10 minutes - bringing us 10 minutes closer to finding a cure for type 1 diabetes.

Every £25 could pay for an hour of research nurse support for someone involved in a clinical trial, which could ultimately lead to the next big breakthrough. Without this support, there would be no trial.

Every £50 could enable a scientist to use lasers for two hours, allowing them to study the immune cells at the heart of type 1, monitoring the success of clinical trials and further improving knowledge into type 1.

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

Lots of thanks from Veeran's family - Nana ji, Nani ji, Mum, Mama ji and Mami ji, Masi, and the brothers and sisters - Karan, Avneet and Anoop 😊 x
