A 13-year-old JFS student is off to Buckingham Palace today after raising thousands of pounds for diabetes research.
Since a virus destroyed his pancreas at the age of five, Sammy Novick has had Type 1 diabetes and needs insulin injections to “live a normal life”.
He raised a staggering £6,500 for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) and Type 1 Diabetes Research on a sponsored walk and will now attend the Royal reception ahead of World Diabetes Day on Friday, one of only five people invited for their fundraising efforts.
