Hi! For those of you who don’t know my journey;

I was a fit and healthy 32 year old 24 weeks pregnant with my beautiful boy Albie when I was admitted with a DKA during the May of the pandemic 2020. Many diagnosis followed; gestational diabetes, type 2, type 3 then back to type 1 with a very complex & extended ‘honeymoon period’. 4 further autoimmune diseases to add an extra layer of complexity to this relentless disease.

Fast forward 3 years , month of the run, and I have finally started to find a ‘normal’ life with my condition and an understanding of my health. I am strong enough to give back and challenge myself. 

I want to prove to myself I can do what I have once done before and give back to support those who will and have followed in this path. There is no cure, there is little understanding by the public and support is minimal considering statistically more people die in the UK from diabetic complications than cancer. 

With my trusty Dexcom, a new training programme and an incredible running buddy in Julie (also supporting the charity as her son was diagnosed type 1 last year) I will pound those Mancunian streets once more, but as a insulin dependant diabetic navigating my new life. 

Any support would mean more to me than you know 🤞🏻
