Hi Guys

This year I am taking part in 2 events:

1) The Great North Swim - which takes place on 5th September. I am really excited about doing this event, which is a 1 mile swim across Lake Windermere in the Lake District. This will be my second open water competitive swim and training is going really well so far. I am training in the pool, sea and lakes to prepare myself for the challenge.

2) The Great North Run - which takes place on 19th September. Again I am really looking forward to competing in my 6th Great North Run - I am determined to run a good time, well I'll try my best! Training is going well, im currently doing 9 mile runs.

Anyway everything I raise for these events will be donated to Diabetes UK. This is such a fantastic charity and I really want to try and raise as much as possible. There are currently 2.5 million people diagnosed with Diabetes in the UK, and every 3 minutes someone, somwhere in the UK will learn they have Diabetes.

Diabetes UK is one of the largest funders of diabetes research in the UK - aiming to spend around £8 million a year on developing better treatment, preventing diabetes and finding a cure!! Anything that you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Kind Regards

Jonny
