Ciaran, Gareth and Aidan McLoughlin and Conor Caldwell are running the Belfast marathon on 2 May 2011 for Diabetes UK.

 

Type 1 diabetes affects 20 million people worldwide (including two of our brothers!), and commonly leads to serious heart, eye and foot complications. It is incurable, but can be treated with daily injections of insulin and careful control of diet.

 

The causes of diabetes are not well understood. Please consider donating! Your gift will help charities such as Diabetes UK offer support to those with the disease, and to fund research initiatives into this growing public health problem.  

 

The small print:

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
