Welcome to my 2023 London Marathon fundraising page for Diabetes UK. If you know me you know I like a challenge so I've decided to try and beat the ‘world record marathon time dressed as a postman’. It is currently 3.45.06 , which is a decent time when you factor in that you have to be wearing full postal uniform(including trousers- Which I don't even own!! ) and carry nearly 5kg of weight with you for the full 26.2 miles distance.
I've decided to try to raise some funds for Diabetes UK to help fund research into the disease. My dad became a type 1 diabetic after a Speedway crash in the 1970's and I've seen how he has had to deal with the disease on a daily basis. Hopefully, with more research the will be more understanding and it will become easier for people to live with type 1 diabetes in the years to come.
Thanks for reading this to the end! 😅
