Thanks everyone, for taking the time to listen to why I need your help!

On April 8th I will be running the US Half Marathon 2 'The Other Half' in San Francisco. http://ushalf.com/2/

I'll be running this (very hilly) 13.1 miles as fast as I can and I'll be running it for Diabetes UK and for the cutest little girl in the world, my niece MacKenzie, who was very recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

Medically speaking, when you develop diabetes it's because your body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells which produce insulin. Without the ability to produce insulin this leads to increased blood glucose levels which can be dangerous. In reality, someone with Type 1 diabetes has a life time of counting carbs, monitoring blood sugar levels and injecting themselves with insulin every day to stay alive.

Diabetes UK works to improve the lives of people with Diabetes and ultimately they hope to find a cure. Diabetes sucks! Help me raise a little bit of money and in turn help those living with diabetes. :)

Thank you!
