We have completed our fundraising challenges and a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far but please keep donating.

My brothers, Christian and Elliot  and I  decided to swim a mile in the Moreton Hall School swimming pool on the morning of Saturday 26th June 2010 and Elliot completed his first  triathlon (  swimming , cycling and running ) at Oswestry School on the 19th July and won first place in his class. Congratulations Elliot. We are raising money for our chosen charity , JDRF ( Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation .  Your donation will help us exceed our target and it will all go to JDRF.

In case you don't know I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in March 2009 at the age of 8. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life threatening condition which has a life long impact on those diagnosed with it and their families. It normally strikes children and the incidence is increasing by approximately 4% each year and faster in children under five.

JDRF's mission is to find the cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications through the support of research .Thank you for your generosity and for sponsoring us online at www.justgiving.com/Joshua-Blount-Powell.
