I'm jumping for a great cause!
8 years old. I got rushed into hospital with the life long changing news that i have Type 1 Diabetes, something i had no idea of and now spend a lifetime of learning more and more about it everyday. Living with diabetes is something I face every single day, and it’s not easy. It’s more than just checking blood sugar or giving insulin — it’s constantly balancing food, activity, stress, and even sleep to keep my body safe. The risks are always in the back of my mind: low blood sugars that can be dangerous within minutes, or high sugars that, over time, can cause serious complications like heart disease, kidney damage, vision loss, and nerve pain. It can feel exhausting, overwhelming, and sometimes isolating, but I keep pushing forward. This fundraiser means so much because it’s not just about raising money — it’s about raising awareness and giving hope. Every bit of support helps people like me manage the daily challenges and to work toward a healthier future.
this October, i will be jumping out of a plane! to raise awareness for Type 1 Diabetes, something that for over 11 years now. I daily struggle with and will never fully come to terms with. I am proud of myself and my diabetes journey and taking this massive leap (literally) i hope will shed a lot more light on & holes to one day find a cure! 🤞🏽
