My Story

Welcome to my Diabetes UK Wellness Walk fundraising page!

One month ago, my world completely changed after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Learning to navigate blood sugar checks, counting carbs and managing injecting insulin has been a steep learning curve and intense adjustment. Instead of letting this condition define me in a negative way, I want to take control and start making a difference from the very start.

To mark my first month of living with this chronic condition, i am walking 10 miles to raise funds for Diabetes UK. Although this may be physically challenging for me while I still adjust to insulin dosage and eating right, I want to prove to myself and others living with the same diagnosis that anything is still possible.

By donating, you are helping Diabetes UK: fund groundbreaking research, provide essential support resources and raise awareness. Every donation, no matter how small, means the world to me as I take on this new chapter. Thanks for supporting my journey and helping to make a difference💙

I will be walking on the 13th of September from Seaham Hall to Souter Lighthouse!

Total amount

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.
