Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On May 22nd I will be running my first marathon and will be doing this in the lovely city of Copenhagen,capital of Denmark. As I've started training I've realised just how far a marathon actually is, so all donations you can give to Diabetes UK would be a great motivator to drive me on as I strive towards the finish line.

I have chosen Diabetes UK as support to a friend who has recently been diagnosed, so all proceeds would be personally appreciated and are going to a very good cause.

"Diabetes UK is the charity for people with diabetes, their family, friends and carers. Our mission is to improve the lives of people with the condition and work towards a future without diabetes.

We are one of the largest patient organisations in Europe. We stand up for the interests of people with diabetes by campaigning for better standards of care. We are one of the largest funder in the UK of research into better treatments for diabetes and the search for a cure.

We provide practical support and information and safety-net services to help people manage their diabetes."

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now, and wish me luck. I'll need it!

Thank you!
