I was honoured to take over as President of The Insurance Institute of Hull in April 2016, and as many Presidents have before me I decided to take part in a 'Presidents challenge'.

On Saturday 17th September 2016 along with friends and family we shall be taking part in a country walk/pub crawl around the local east riding villages.  Should anyone be interested in joining us please let me know so I can advise you of the route/meeting times.

Type 1 diabetes can affect anyone, at any age. It isn't caused by poor diet or an unhealthy lifestyle. In fact, it isn't caused by anything that you did or didn't do. There is nothing you can do to prevent it!

My son Paul now 15 is a very keen rugby union player and although his diagnoses came as a shock to us he continues to lead a very normal life. Many famous people who have type 1 diabetes have gone on to have very successful careers , Tom Hanks, Sir Steve Redgrave and our new Prime Minister Theresa May to name a few! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my page and hopefully will see some of you on 17th September!
