About

Skye’s Type1 tigers are taking on the challenge to either Walk or run 100 miles in 100 days!!

Skye, Kelly, Tom, Harvey, Jackson, Kim, Drew, Emma, Chrissy, Stuart, Kahlan, Gillian, Jack, William, Sandra, Tyke, Julia, Molly, Lily and Lydia are taking on the challenge for JDRF.

As many of you may know Skye was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in lockdown. It was all a bit of a shock and being in lockdown, her symptoms were missed for other things. Skye was taken to hospital and was in DKA when she arrived. She is incredibly lucky to be here making it just in time.

We want to help spread awareness of the signs of type 1 which are feeling tired, losing weight, drinking lots and needing to wee lots. Knowing the signs of type 1 and managing it Can stop others going into DKA when newly diagnosed.

While in hospital Skye was given a bear called Rufus which helps children to understand diabetes and how and where to inject. She also had lots of books and useful information to help her on her journey of Type 1. Rufus brought Joy at such a tough stage. We want to thank JDRF and give something back.

100 years ago Frederick Banting and his lab partners would have been on the verge of the largest breakthrough in type 1 diabetes history. The discovery of insulin.

Please help us celebrate their achievements, raise awareness of diabetes and help support JDRF in their research for finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

This condition affects 400,000 people in the UK, with over 29,000 of them children. Incidence is increasing by about four per cent each year and particularly in children under five, with a five per cent increase each year in this age group over the last 20 years. JDRF aims to create a world without type 1 diabetes. Until that day, your support is vital to help fund world-class research, improving treatments until JDRF finds the cure.
