Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Francis and I are doing this walk so we can make a small contribution to making a better future for people with diabetes. We have lived with the disease and all its challenges for the past 13 years and for my son, it is an integral part of every moment of his life. Great advances have been made in the past few years but so much more remains to be done. The healthy lifestyle message is still not reaching everyone; care is unequally distributed; research and technological developments can be frustratingly slow. Diabetes UK have the plans and the capability to do this work.

There is something symbolic about crossing bridges. Every day for someone with diabetes is about zig-zagging between high and low sugars, navigating difficult paths and crossing obstacles. There is a lot of "we`ll cross that bridge when we come to it..." I am really looking forward to joining the other 850+ people who have already registered for the walk - the more of us there are, the bigger the difference we can make.
