Wellness Walk Manchester 2025

I’m taking on a Wellness Walk for a happier, healthier future for all.

My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 3 years ago. It has changed his life forever. 

There is no cure. He has to work every single day to stay alive. He never gets a day off or a break from having to make an average of 180 extra decisions each day to stay healthy and well. 

Type one is tough....but not as tough as those that live with it.

By donating to my 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.

Please support me today.

Thanks you to all!

Wednesday 22nd Oct
Just a short message to thank everyone that donated. It just means so much to me and of course, the charity.
The walk was on Sunday and I completed it with my daughter, sister and niece. It rained after about 6 miles but we obviously carried on to finish the walk in just over 2 and a half hours.
The finish line was quite emotional with the support of the charity volunteers and spectators.

Thank you to my Sponsors
