Too Many Pricks

Who we are: Too Many Pricks was founded on a mission to raise both funds and awareness for T1 diabetes. This was driven by personal connections and a desire to give back. We set ourselves a goal to achieve something extraordinary by all completing an ultra-marathon, and in doing so using this as the springboard in which awareness could be raised and funds could be pledged. We had to show how committed we were to the cause before we could expect anyone to back us. And back us they have. We are on track to raising almost within our first 12 months. This isn’t something to shy away from. This is an incredible achievement. However for us it’s not the big picture. Awareness is the big picture. It is what T1 diabetics need as the disease is so poorly understood. This lack of awareness and understanding is as painful as the disease itself for some. We don’t want to tell the same old misunderstood story. A story that fails to highlight what an insidious disease this is. We want to recreate the story. We want to start again. We want to rebrand diabetes and change the way the world views this disease.
