Film maker Emily Cooney is looking for a UK paraglider pilot with Type 1 diabetes to feature in an awareness-raising film.
Her documentary aims to break limitations and raise awareness by sharing fun experiences and stories of success in remote outdoor sports.
The idea is to encourage those with diabetes to access natural landscapes and strengthen the self-belief and independence they teach. 'We aim to highlight the challenges such environments pose for people with Type 1 diabetes and show how they can be overcome.'
If you are interested in taking part, contact Emily here.
