My Story
This September, my husband and I are taking on the Diabetes UK Wellness Walk for the second year running. Last year, we were blown away by the generosity and support we received, and this year we're determined to walk even further in our fundraising by raising more than we did last year.
This challenge is so much more than just a walk for me—it's personal.
I live with Type 2 diabetes and rely on insulin every day. Managing diabetes isn't just about blood sugar checks and injections; it's a condition I live with 24/7, and there have been times when it's had a real impact on my mental health. Some days are harder than others, but I'm determined not to let diabetes have the final say.
That's why we're taking on 10 miles together—to raise money for Diabetes UK, so they can continue funding life-changing research, improve treatments, campaign for better care, and provide support for the millions of people living with diabetes across the UK.
Every two minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with diabetes. Right now, around 5.8 million people in the UK are living with the condition, each facing their own daily challenges.
If you're able to support us, no matter the amount, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation brings us one step closer to our fundraising goal and helps Diabetes UK continue their amazing work.
Thank you for supporting us for a second year and for helping us make an even bigger impact than last year. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement means the world to us. ❤️
