Miles for Rubie

Wellness Walk London Bridges

Our Story

On 14 November 2025, our world turned upside down when we heard those three words “type 1 diabetes”. Rubie was diagnosed at just 14 months old after going into severe DKA. Her tiny body was fighting so hard and will continue to for the rest of her life. 

Sadly, too many children are diagnosed at the point of DKA because there still isn’t enough awareness and understanding of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes. From the day of her diagnosis, we vowed to never stop raising awareness for Rubie, so here we go… 

We’re taking on the 10 mile Diabetes UK wellness walk across London (with Rubie in tow!) to support the 5.8 million people in the UK living with diabetes and to raise money for Diabetes UK. They fund vital research, campaign for better care and support families like ours navigating life with type 1 diabetes. 

Every donation no matter how big or small will help make a difference and move us one step closer to a future where no one has to live with type 1 diabetes. 

Thank you so much for your support 💙 
Courtney, Dan and Rubie
