We are fundraising for our Sophia and all the other T1 heroes out there
I’m taking part in One Walk Cardiff to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1!
Our Sophia was diagnosed with T1 around 2 and a half years ago, a few weeks before her 3rd birthday. She is awesome and has asked to do this walk this year, so that, in her words, we can help get money to help diabetes.
Over the past 2 years, we have benefitted hugely from the new technologies that are being licensed for younger children. We are nearly at the end of a trial, and it has made a huge difference to Sophia's and our lives. Sophia wants to raise money to help other people like her.
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 for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help JDRF to eradicate type 1 diabetes!
