My Story

Welcome to my Diabetes UK Wellness Walk fundraising page!

I’m walking for Diabetes UK this September to support the 5.8 million people in the UK who live with diabetes, day in day out. And you can too, just by making a donation.

Did you know someone is diagnosed with diabetes every two minutes?

Diabetes UK are on a mission to create a world where diabetes can do no harm by funding vital research into life-changing treatments and providing support to help people to live well with diabetes. But they need our help. No matter how much you can give, it will make a difference.

So please donate today.
Im walking with my Daughter Tori on behalf of my Grandson Alfie who was diagnosed at the age of 3 !!

He is now 7, still going through pain & challenges that none of us expected, read our Team page & please donate every amount counts.

Please help me reach my goal

Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate. I am a UK tax payer and want Diabetes UK to treat the donations I have made in the past four years and all future donations as Gift Aid donations. I understand that my donations are eligible for the scheme if I pay enough UK Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover the amount of tax that all charities I donate to will reclaim in that tax year. If I pay less it is my responsibility to pay back the difference. Please tell us if you change your name, address or no longer pay sufficient tax. Your full name and home address are needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.

Sunday 4th Oct

Hi all,

Well its 1 week since we did the walk.Yes I survived it in one piece, so did Tori, just a little redness under my right heel but nothing to moan about.

The walk was absolutely fabby & very interesting, didn't feel like we were walking far.. Lots to see on the way, new places to try out eg Gabriel's Wharf.. looked an alive & kicking place to eat & drink...

We caught a glimpse of some sheep on one of the bridges, an annual event apparently.

A fun day all in all except the bloomin trains, we were stopped for approx 15 mins on the way in, workmen hadn't finished their jobbie.. so we had to jump in a taxi to ensure we were near the start on time.

As far as I know.. Tori will confirm later this week the TOTAL amount raised bit its further than our expectations..

So its a WOW & THANK YOU sooo much for donating, if you feel you must.. Just press that donate button... every penny or Pound counts for such a good cause..🥰

Last chance, last evening!!!

Another 5 mile walk I completed today, walking from Little Paxton to St Neots & around both Riverside Parks a few times, finishing a bit more around my local village when I got home.

I would like to thank my SW Tuesday evening groups members in St Neots, they raised a huge donation, fully appreciated. You are the best.

We walked around Grafham Water yesterday, joined by family members, to keep us going. Yes it rained a bit, then got humid, then sprinkled & sun.

We also stopped at a pub for refreshment, lemonade 😄 and a quick cool down.

Joined by another family member for the final 3 miles.

Oohh sooo worth it, a little bit of cramp, but a nice cuppa & seat sorted me out.

Thanks everyone that was approx 9 miles.

Please sponsor me & my daughter, its for a really good cause, Thank You 😊
