Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have entered into my first half marathon called Run to the Beat (see below) and am hoping to raise some money for Diabetes UK before I do it.

I have chosen this charity because it is very close to home for me. My sister was diagnosed as a diabetic when she was 13 and I have witnessed the countless injections and battles that she has had in monitoring her blood sugar levels as her body no longer produces insulin. My sister is such as inspiration with her amazing family, having married a fellow diabetic Matt and with a few complications, has given birth to a gorgeous and healthy two year old son, my nephew Harrison. There is currently no cure for diabetes so every donation no matter how small is contributing to one day fighting this disease with a cure.

Henno is also running so be sure to check out his page!
