A diabetic teenager who takes part in research, fundraises and supports other young people with the disease, has entered a competition that hails ‘giving to others’.
Dan Walls, of Castle Barns, Bletsoe, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes five years ago – but since then he has become a charity ambassador for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
The 14-year-old has been nominated for the Atlas Young People of the Year awards or ‘YOPEYs’ – Oscars for young people who ‘give to others’. There will be at least two Bedfordshire Young People of the Year. YOPEY is open to people aged from 10 to 25, who should live, work or study in Bedfordshire.
