Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. As you probably know, I am a type 1 diabetic. I say "probably know" because I don't hide it - I've always been open about it. For the past 4 years I have been using a new device to monitor my sugar - it has been completely life-changing! My control is so much better than it was, and this has helped both my work (no more sweaty, dry-mouthed auditions) and my physical fitness. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has helped me to keep fit and keeping fit has helped me with my diabetic control.

Diabetes UK has been fighting hard to ensure that every diabetic in the country has the opportunity to use CGM. They are also a library of knowledge and advice for all diabetics and offer continuous support to those who need it most. I would love to be able to give something back by raising loads of money to support the hard work they do.

Also, I'm running the flippin' London Marathon! And I'm a diabetic! It's going to hurt my feet and my nipples will probably bleed. Please don't make me go through this pain in vain.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
