I'm going to be running for Diabetes UK, a charity which is very close to home.

My sister Jo has been diabetic since we were little. Although she makes it look easy, life as a diabetic can be anything but. However, with the help of fantastic diabetic support, Jo has just given birth to her tiny baby girl Isla - who arrived ahead of schedule in August (just don't expect her aunt to be doing the same on race day). 

It's a brilliant cause, and I'd be very grateful if you can make my 13.2 miles worth it!

Thanks so much

Emily
