Alastair Torrance

I'm walking for Patrick Torrance

Today is THE day!

The rain has stopped and the sun has started to come out so I'm just about to set off and pick up. Paddy and head to the Newcastle Breakthrough T1D walk. 
Just a huge thank you to everybody who has supported this effort. I'm sure that the funds we've raised will help progress research and advocacy in getting better results for everyone with type 1 diabetes.

In the home stretch

This has been quite a journey.  I have been overwhelmed by the generosity of people both near and far.  I've had some money put into my hand at local clubs and functions as well as receiving significant donations from the US, Canada, Denmark and Portugal,
Let's see how this all unfolds over the next few days, but I am looking forward to the walk - rain or shine!

Local community is everything

I've just come back from a trivia evening that we've been attending the last 3 years. The support everyone here has been amazing, Nearly $500 added to the total. Thanks to everybody. Outstanding!

Wow!

A huge thank you to everybody. I can't believe how wonderfully supportive you have been for this initiative. It's another couple of weeks before the walk so I have increased my target again and hope to continue to surge towards helping turn type one into type none

Another week on

One more week, and I'm so grateful to all the people who have elected to sponsor this worthwhile event.  It means a lot to me and also Paddy.  

I've doubled my target and will keep pushing to meet it.

Here's hoping that we can get improvements sooner rather than later!

Walking for Paddy

I'm excited but apprehensive about the up coming walk. Putting one foot in front of another is fine, but will my community join me in the journey?
Looking forward to see how much we can raise to support the ongoing challenge of improving T1D outcomes!

I'm walking for a world without type 1 diabetes in Newcastle!

I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Bolton Point Community Hall this March!

Why? To help raise $1.1 million for life-changing T1D research, and ultimately turn type 1 into type NONE.

T1D can strike anyone at any time, and our grandson was diagnosed at the age of 2 and this means means a 24/7 fight with no break, and facing an extra 180 decisions a day to remain safe and healthy.

Please support my walk today.
