💙🏃‍♀️ Meet Bronagh O’Loughlin – taking on the Dublin Marathon for Diabetes Ireland! 🏃‍♀️💙

This year, Bronagh is marking an incredible milestone: 30 years living with Type 1 diabetes. Diagnosed during the week of her 18th birthday, diabetes has been part of her everyday life ever since.

To mark three decades living with T1D, Bronagh is taking on the Dublin Marathon to raise vital funds for Diabetes Ireland, alongside Killian Hoezle and PJ Belton, who will be joining her on this amazing challenge! 💪💙

Supporting families whose children are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes is particularly close to Bronagh’s heart. Having lived with the condition for 30 years, she understands the daily challenges it brings and recognises how important it is for families to have access to the right information, guidance and support from the very beginning.

A huge THANK YOU to Bronagh, Killian and PJ for taking on this challenge and helping us continue our work supporting people living with diabetes and their families across Ireland. We are so grateful to have you on Team Diabetes Ireland! 💙
