We are fighting to make a world where diabetes does no harm

Story

It is 20 years since I was first diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, a condition which affects 2.8 million people in the UK. Fortunately my diabetes is well controlled which means I am able to participate in the outdoor activities I enjoy.

As a chalIenge for myself in 2012 I decided to enter the London Marathon on 22nd April. Through sponsorship I will be raising valuable funds for DiABETES UK. So far my training is going well and I'm managing between 25 and 40 miles a week, but I've still a long way to go before I can do 26.2 miles in one run - and I'm also aiming to beat my marathon time from 2003.

Any sponsorship you are able to give will be gratefully received and every £ you donate will be matched by BP.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
