Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Me & Steve are running the Manchester marathon on 28 April please sponsor us as little or as much as possible.  This charity is very personal to us as 25 years ago Steve developed type 1 diabetes whilst training for his last and only marathon.  All credit to him he battled on through the training and completed the race.  We would also like to make you aware that type 1 diabetes usually occurs in childhood and the money we raise will go towards helping children cope with the day to day life of injections and also go towards research for hopefully a cure to this condition.

As a thank you for your sponsorship you get a free go at "guess Gemma's finishing time" (alternativly £1 a go if not sponsoring us). Please indicate in the comments box your guess at Gemma's finishing time in hours and minutes.  To help you the womens world record for a marathon is 2hours 10mins!!!! The lucky winner who is closest the time will recieve a bottle of fizz.
