Hi all,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have chosen to take part in The Three Peaks Challenge which involves climbing the three highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland within 24 hours (!) to raise money for Diabetes UK.

 This charity is close to my heart as the most important person to me (Mummy) unfortunately has suffered with diabetes for most of my life and although she never really moans about how it affects her in everyday life, reality is that it can cause so many terrible things such as heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, amputations etc....I have seen most of my mums side of the family suffer from this disease and as you all can imagine its terrible to see people you love go through the pain and discomfort it can cause.

Sadly in the UK alone there are 2.9 million people suffering with over 200 million worldwide sufferers and as for many frightening diseases in this world there isn’t yet a cure so I think it’s great that Diabetes UK help to improve the lives of people with diabetes and work towards a future without it.

So onto my challenge- For someone who hardly bothers to climb stairs, the trek up a peak let alone 3 is a huge challenge! I am nervous but very excited! I would really appreciate any amount that you can spare to show you have faith in me completing this challenge and more importantly to raise money for a good cause!

The pic you see where it looks like I have no arms or a leg is the best I could do in finding a pic of me being remotely active....

Thanks a lot!
