Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page to raise money for an amazing charity Diabetes UK. 

I am taking part in The BUPA Great North Run to run a half marathon this September. I am raising money for a great charity Diabetes UK which is the leading UK charity for people with diabetes. My Grandfather Antanas, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes early in 2000 due to severe complications he passed away in September 2007 at the age of 71.

Diabetes strike not only the elderly people but also the youngest ones in our society. The last 30 years has seen a threefold increase in the number of cases of childhood diabetes. This affects child's development in different ways and immidiate and effective treatment is vital. Your donations are going towards Diabetes UK who raise awareness for diabetes and supports the ones who live with it. Funding research on diabetes is very important and most definitely helps to better people‘s lives.

This is my first half marathon so pressure is on! I really hope my training so far and all the way until the race will help to reach my goal. 

So please dig deep and donate now. THANK YOU!
