Elspeth Mackay

Wellness Walk Glasgow 2025

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

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 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.

Why we’re walking

Friday 15th Aug
In 2006 Seona was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 6 years old and then in 2009 Elspeth was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 40. It was a learning curve, learning insulin doses, carb counting and how to administer injections in order to survive. Heather has seen it all and has been a supportive sister and daughter throughout it all. 


Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which our cells don’t produce insulin, which we need to survive. It’s rubbish to live with, so we’re fundraising in order to raise money to help find a cure so maybe in the future, other people won’t have to live like we do.
