Lucy and Jamie climb Ben Nevis

Climb for Type 1 - Ben Nevis

400,000 people currently live with type 1 diabetes in the UK and I want to play my part in changing that.

We're joining Team JDRF for Climb 1 For Type 1: Ben Nevis on Saturday 17 August. 

Lucy was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in May 2022 and we both learnt so much about how this condition affects every aspect of day to day life. While type 1 makes exercising difficult, being active has helped to understand and control diabetes so much. We have always loved walking together but are yet to climb the UK's highest peak and looking forward to the challenge.

JDRF UK fund world-class research that one day will cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes and its complications. Their collaborations with the best researchers in the world have led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment. 

Together, we can help JDRF towards its vision of a world without type 1 diabetes.
