I am running the London Marathon on 26 April 2015 to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

My 13 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just over two years ago.  It came completely out of the blue and has been a steep learning curve for him.  We are all so proud of him as he has taken control and refuses to let diabetes change his life.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life-threatening and lifelong condition.  It is caused by a defect in the immune system, it is not caused by lifestyle and cannot currently be prevented. 

JDRF is the type 1 diabetes charity, improving lives until they find a cure.  JDRF is committed to funding the research that will lead to the cure for type 1 diabetes. 

For more information about the JDRF please visit www.jdrf.org.uk.
