What a super proud personal moment this evening

As Anushka embarks on her evening on stage... into the limelight ...in the Big Apple...💕

A little bit extra special, as I know Ma, with all her love of art?

Would have been absolutely over the moon today at what her granddaughter has achieved 💕

One picture to define the year 2024 for me

A year of sinking into work to forget the grief of Ma

And wrapped with love and kindness from those living with #T1Diabetes

A treasure-forever more
(TAD 2024, Liverpool)

Thank you to all of you in the #T1D community for being there for me 💙

Is the birthday of Stan Lee

We all know him for the superheroes he created …Spider Man, Iron Man, Black Panther, The Hulk…and many more

Oh my goodness...

Having a pet toy bear named after you is one thing..

A whole poem from a mum who has a #t1diabetes kid?

A whole new level of emotion

It has been & is a privilege to serve such an incredible community

December will be a tough month...

I hope She sees this -wherever she is ❤️

If you have #T1Diabetes
As per the #T1DIndex from ‘Breakthrough T1D’

As regards ‘healthy years of life it takes from people living with #T1D?

🇬🇧 now has one of the LOWEST - globally

How about that 😊

More to do - yet much to celebrate too

Onwards 💙
