Story

After being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes three years ago, I decided to make some lifestyle changes: a much healthier diet, and a new approach to exercise.

Walking on a treadmill during lockdown then progressing to intermittent jogging, which then led to participating at my local 5k Parkrun at Cassiobury Park.

My diabetes is now in remission as a direct result of these changes and for the first time I’m now running regularly and have completed a half-marathon. So the next challenge has to be the one and only London Marathon!

I will be fund raising on behalf of the Watford Salvation Army Branch who have an existing relationship with Nicola’s school, Laurence Haines, who between them support local vulnerable families.

Many thanks for any donation received, it really is much appreciated, and will make a difference. Ian x
