“I hope for the film to reach far and wide and help people understand a little more about the condition and the research and support provided by Breakthrough T1D.”
“I feel it’s important to raise public awareness that T1D is not solely a children’s condition and that those of us diagnosed with T1D in our earlier years still have the condition and we’ve led long, healthy and enjoyable lives despite the challenges of managing the condition over many decades.”
“I wanted to show people how the condition can impact you every day in all that you do, but also that it doesn’t have to stop you doing anything. There are misconceptions about the condition that hopefully people will see.”
“The premise of the film is wonderfully aspirational and that balances very well with raising awareness of the daily challenges of living with T1D.”
