Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Im running a 10K for Diabetes UK. Not only is this a massive challenge for me and the culmination of several months getting fit again, but with your help I can raise some money for a charity close to my heart. 

Charlie, my little brother, was 5 when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It's a horrible illness, especially for a young kid and for the first few months Charlie found the injections and blood testing really difficult. 

He's ten now, and finds it all a little easier, but he's got it for life, as well as other diabetes-related health problems that are likely to occur in the future and that's a difficult thing to come to terms with when you're ten. 

Diabetes UK really helps give Charlie valuable support and information about the illness. It also sets up camps and events which allow him to meet other children in the same position as him. Charlie loves his diabetes camp and it would be terrible if they couldn't fund them anymore. 

Please give what you can. Your money helps fund local services for kids and also helps with pioneering research to try and defeat the illness, so its a really awesome cause. 

Thanks guys!
