In 2001 Colin heard about a small charity called Life for a Child. The charity had been set up to support young people living with type 1 diabetes in low-income countries by providing them with insulin, a blood glucose meter, strips and diabetes education. Colin really felt for these kids and believed in the charity\u2019s vision: no child should die of diabetes. He immediately set up a monthly donation. Colin continued to give a generous gift every month for 15 years, until he passed away in 2016 at age 67.<\/p>\n
After his death, his brother Allyn wanted to make sure that Colin\u2019s legacy of compassion would live on. He has donated substantial amounts to Life for a Child in order to provide diabetes care to young people in need in Tanzania and Mali, in memory of Colin.<\/p>\n
Life for a Child\u2019s General Manager, Dr Graham Ogle said: \u201cMany families with a child with type 1 in Tanzania can\u2019t afford insulin and supplies. Thanks to the support of wonderful donors like Colin and Allyn, Life for a Child is able to provide them with a lifeline. Their donations are helping young people like Anita (pictured below).\u201d<\/p>\n
