Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

You may, or may not, know that I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in October 2005. It came as a bit of a shock to say the least, I was 26 and had always been pretty healthy. The first question I asked was 'What did I do wrong to get this?' The simple answer back was 'nothing'. The truth is we still don't really know what causes diabetes and that is why it is so important to me to help raise funds for a charity  that offers people with diabetes every day support.

Diabetes UK recieves no funding from the government, it relies on voluntary donations and fundraising to continue its work in aiming for a future without diabetes, through prevention or cure.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit this page and showing your support by sponsoring me in both a challenge and cause close to my heart. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Diabetes UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
