It has been an interesting time for my family of late and many a worthy cause has lent a hand to us. However, my nephew was recently diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes so I have decided to raise some money for Diabetes UK.

Their vision is a world where Diabetes can do no harm.  Diabetes affects more people than any other serious health condition in the UK.  More than dementia and cancer combined.  That means we need to take action now.

There are currently 4.6 million people in the UK living with diabetes, and 12.3 million more at increased risk of getting Type 2 diabetes. Those diagnosed face the risk of life-changing, and life-limiting, complications, unless they are given the very best care and the support they need to manage their condition well. As a society we need to work together now – and take action now – to fund critical research, improve healthcare and treatment, and prevent yet more people developing this potentially life-threatening condition.
