NoviaRapids

Lois and Rachel are taking on a Wellness Walk for a happier, healthier future for all.

Lois and Rachel are taking part in the 8 mile Wellness Walk on 7th September 2025 for Diabetes UK 💉🩸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Lois has been living with Type 1 Diabetes for over 15 years. After three years on a waiting list, Lois started on a closed-loop system last year. Diabetes impacts every aspect of Lois’s life, but the closed-loop system has made a real difference for her diabetes management 📱💉  The hope is that our fundraiser will assist the great work of Diabetes UK, particularly their contributions to diabetes research and support for diabetics and their friends and family.

Rachel is not diabetic, she’s just there to support her diabetic girlfriend (she’s the one that made us sign up for this!) 🧑‍🤝‍🧑⭐️💖

Our name is based on the type of insulin that Lois currently takes via her insulin pump, called NovoRapid. Our team name, NoviaRapids, is ‘girlfriend’ in Spanish and rapids because we hope we will be fast (but avoid any hypos!) 😵‍💫🫠

One in 15 of us is now living with diabetes and Diabetes UK is the charity leading the fight against the UK's devastating and fastest-growing health crisis. By donating to our page, Diabetes UK could fund more research or provide much needed support via their helpline. Together, we can walk towards a world where diabetes can do no harm.

All donations are hugely appreciated, thank you 😊💉❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
