Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After many trips to the doctors and hospital over the last few months and having varied tests and blood tests, I was confirmed that I had the condition type 2 diabetes. I was some what very surprised with the result as I was unaware of any symptoms.

Yes I like my weekend drink of lager and the odd burger and cake but now it’s time to kick the bad habits.

it’s time to kick start my fitness yet again and to try and beat this condition. it has recently been proven in studies that through fitness and diet that the condition can be treated

Therefore as of the 1st October I am going to run a marathon over 31days

This is only just over 1 mile a day and I intend to smash it with your support

I am aiming to raise £500 in order to raise awareness for diabetes and to aid the development of a cure.

Thank you in advance for your support
