By day they give care and support to people in Coventry with a range of long-term conditions.
And the selfless work of district nurses at Tile Hill Health Centre in Coventry continues into their spare time as they work to boost funds for type 1 diabetes research.
In the Coventry area alone, about 18,000 people suffer from the condition, which is when the body?s immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Those that live with the condition must take insulin every day, via injections or a pump.
