We support people who live with diabetes to help prevent long term complications
Story
Sometimes in life we get thrown things we don't want or need, but when this happens, some people grow strong and face whatever stands in their path.
My 22 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 (insulin dependent) Diabetes late in 2014, and even though it was a shock to all of us, he has taken everything in his stride and I am incredibly proud of him for just dealing with it and getting on with lie.
I feel helpless at times, and want to help, so I am channelling my energies into doing something worthwhile by raising funds for the charity 'InDependent Diabetes Trust' http://iddt.org/ by running the Bristol and Bath marathon (26.2 miles).
Training for and running a marathon is hard work, and it takes over your life.
I will be thinking of my son every step of every mile that I take from now to the finish line and beyond.
Anything you can give will be appreciated by the charity, and of course by me.
