Story

Thank you for coming along to my page! 

In July, I will be swimming in a relay across the English Channel to France (arriving in time for croissants). This is a huge challenge for me! I need to be at my fittest and ready to take on the very chilly wavy sea! 

There are currently 3.8 million people in the UK with Diabetes and many of whom do not realise it. The disease can cause many complications if not managed, such as: heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, skin damage and more. Therefore, we need to create awareness!

Your money will help Diabetes UK fund pioneering research into care, cure & prevention. The charity has also set up help centres and trying to ensure all diabetics have personalised care plans. This enables people to be much more involved with their healthcare team on how to best manage their Diabetes. I have worked with many Diabetics during my work in healthcare and wish to raise funds to help their future and for the many others. 

Thank you so much for your donations!
