Story
I can’t let a year go by without taking part in a charity
event or two, or three, or four with my training buddy and good friend Trevor
Lewis!
So this year I am raising money for Diabetes UK, and will be
taking part in 4 charity events, the same number as many type 1 diabetics may
need to inject insulin treatment during the course of day.
Follow my progress as I take part in the Colchester
½ marathon on Sunday 12th March, running 13.1 miles.
Following this I shall cycle 60 miles as part of the Tour de
Tendring bike ride on Sunday 14th May.
Next I will be combining these sports with some swimming as
I look to complete my 3rd triathlon on Sunday 18th June,
swimming 300m, cycling 25k and finishing with a 5k run.
My final challenge will be held on Saturday 8th
July where I will play 6 hours of 5 aside football to be held at Little Oakley
Football club.
All of this will end with a charity disco on Saturday 8th
July for a well deserved drink. SAVE THE
DATE!
Diabetes is the most potentially devastating and fastest
growing health crisis of our time. There
are currently 4 million people in the UK living with diabetes and 11.5
million are at increased risk of getting type 2 diabetes. Do you know someone with diabetes? I’m quite certain you do.
As usual your encouragement, support, words of advice and any donations are all
greatly received.
