Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Our daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2004, when she was 16 years old. She was only diagnosed when she collapsed and was in intensive care on drips, dialysis and a ventilator for four days. Happily she is now well and is managing her blood sugar levels, but the experience has made us determined to support Diabetes UK to help other people in the same situation.
This is the second time I have signed up for the London Bridges Challenge but the first time I’ll actually take part. A broken leg the day before the challenge last year prevented me from taking part but luckily I had some sporting sponsors who agreed to pay up anyway. I've always enjoyed walking and usually walk at least eight miles on a hike so I am looking forward to completing the challenge this year. My husband bravely went off and did the walk on his own last year so I am determined to do it with him this time.”
