JDRF

During January each run attended our runners will donate £1 to our chosen charity. This year we have chosen JDRF. 

A message from Vicky, one of our runners...

JDRF – The type 1 diabetes charity.  They fund research to cure, treat and prevent type 1.


Hi I’m Vicky and I have 2 children and a husband with type 1 diabetes.
I came across JDRF after Jack (now 15) was diagnosed with type 1 back in 2003. They were able to supply us with a pack for newly diagnosed children which included books and a cuddly bear Rufus (he’s also type 1). A few years later Tom was diagnosed type 1 and another Rufus was able to come join our home.
Over the years we have been supported by JDRF in various ways and in 2009 as a family were able to do the Great North Run and mini runs to fundraise for them.
I would like to think that in my children’s lifetime there will be a cure for type 1 and by supporting the January runs you will be helping to fund the essential work that JDRF are doing, Thank you xx
