This Year I will be running for Diabetes UK.

More people than ever have diabetes. More people than ever are at risk of type 2 diabetes. If nothing changes, we predict that 5.5 million people will have diabetes in the UK by 2030.

Around 90% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Around 8% of people with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. About 2% of people with diabetes have rarer types of diabetes.

Diabetes can lead to serious complications which can affect many different parts of your body. In the worst cases, diabetes can kill you. Each week diabetes causes thousands of complications like stroke, amputation, kidney failure, heart attack and heart failure.

The money you give me will help diabetes UK to tackle the diabetes crisis. prevent Type 2 diabetes, campaign for and support everyone affected by diabetes, and fund research that will one day lead us to a cure.

Your money will help to fight for a world where diabetes can do no harm.
