On October 26th 2025 I will be running the IrishLife Dublin Marathon for Diabetes Ireland. At 5 years old I was diagnosed with the life-long condition. I've navigated most of my life with it and know no different. Since then there has been great medical advances to help make the disease as managable as possible but for the past 50 years type 1 diabetics have been told a cure is on the way and you can help push this along through donations which fund research and development As a type 1 diabetic, I want to raise funds and awareness around type 1 diabetes and also challenge myself with running my first marathon. Type 1 diabetes is a fulltime 24/7 job with no breaks, days off or cure. It is relentless and carries a serious burden on those affected by it. Diabetes Ireland through their support, education and advocacy can make that easier for diabetics and their families across Ireland. The money raised will go towards helping to support & education aswell as to research & development to hopefully one day find a cure. Any donation, however big or small would be greatly appreciated :), other ways to help are to help share the page on social media or with friends and family.
