Debbie's mum passed away from diabetes complications.
If everyone who takes part in the challenge are raising awareness and educating others about diabetes, we are winning the battle.
Debbie saw first-hand the devastating effects of diabetes when her mum died in diabetes complications in 2012. She decided this year she wanted to raise funds to ensure Diabetes UK can continue supporting people affected by the life long illness, so she’s taking on Swim22.
