Jeremy's Loch Tay Challenge: A Pledge to Make a Difference
Jeremy's determination to take on the open water swim in Loch Tay is a symbolic act of solidarity with those living with Type 1 Diabetes and their families, reminding them that they are not alone in their journey. By supporting Jeremy's fundraising efforts for DigiBete, you will be contributing to a lifeline of resources and assistance for those in need.
HeadFirst client and Jeremy's friend Dr Fiona Campbell has recently received an OBE for her dedication and contribution to children’s & young people’s diabetes in Leeds. Dr Campbell has also been a major force in pushing for the children’s hospital.
Jeremy has swam for her in Windermere seven years ago and now again on his Loch Tay swim. Congratulations Jeremy!
