<p>Hoots Man!......Is this&nbsp;complete madness?!!!!!</p> <p>Signing up for a marathon for JDRF seemed like a good idea last summer...&nbsp;London rejected me, so Edinburgh here I come!!!&nbsp; This is way beyond any distance I have ever run before, and I am&nbsp;c**p &nbsp;at following training plans, so it's going to be an organisational challenge, as well as a physical challenge for me! I will be pleased just to get around! :-)</p> <p>It's now over 2 years since diagnosis, and Iona's diabetes hasn't gone away..she deals with it every day and it affects everything she does. &nbsp;Only seems fair that I go though some pain to support her!</p> <p>JDRF are&nbsp;coordinating groundbreaking research to find a cure for diabetes. They are funding projects in leading universities&nbsp;in the UK and all over the world and are inching forwards in their understanding of the hows, whys and potential cures...but it is painstaking and expensive work.</p> <p>Please join us in supporting the fantastic work they do, by sponsoring me&nbsp;to wobble round the&nbsp;Edinburgh marathon!&nbsp; Thankyou for reading this and a&nbsp;massive thanks for donating!!!</p> <p>Caroline and Iona xx</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
