Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My dad had type 1 diabetes for 70 years and I am now a specialist nurse working with children with diabetes. I was brought up in a diabetes family so I fully understand how hard life can be at times. I can also see how many massive changes there have been over the last 70 years and hope that with continued research, we may one day have a cure for type 1 diabetes. 

I am running/walking round the Isle of Wight as a personal challenge. 106km over 2days is much more than a marathon a day. I don't intend to break any records, but just to complete it will be a fantastic outcome for me. It will be 4 years to the day that my dad died at aged 87, so I'm sure he will be looking down on me. Thank you for supporting this very worthy cause.
