My very own superhero!
400,000 people currently live with Type 1 diabetes in the UK and Ryly and I want to play our part in changing that, as we want a world in which Type 1 no longer exists.
This is very personal, as Ryly (then aged 5) was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on 15th December 2019. This initially turned our life upside down, but Ryly's resilience and persistence to not let his condition prevent him from achieving his dreams has inspired us all and given us the strength to get through this together.
Just to put this in context, Ryly will have around 1400 injections (this doesn't include the finger prick tests) every year, to ensure he's receiving the insulin his pancreas can't provide. This means it dictates his whole life!
But being the superhero that he is, Ryly's taken this in his stride and from hating needles (as most of us do) and fretting at the sight of one, he is now owning this condition and the treatment he needs to keep him alive.
Therefore, Ryly and I will be joining Team JDRF for Climb 1 For Type 1: Ben Nevis on Saturday 17 August. This will be our final climb, as Ryly and I, along with fellow JDRF hikers, have in the last 2 years climbed Scafell Pike (2022) and Snowdonia (2023). This means Ryly will have climbed the National 3 Peaks by the age of 10! We'll be climbing knowing we're helping make a difference to the lives of people living with Type 1.
So please can you help us smash the fundraising target of £500? With your support and your generous donations, we can fund JDRF UK’s important work AND Together, we can help JDRF towards its vision of a world without Type 1 Diabetes.
