I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes over 15-years ago which at the time was a massive shock to me, my family and friends. Over the course of the last 15 years I have received incredible support from the likes of Diabetes UK and the NHS to help me manage and control my diabetes. Its a chronic disease that requires constant dedication and attention to manage, made all the more difficult for what life has to throw at you day in and day out. 

I have wanted to run the London Marathon for some time and recently decided that its about time I got on with it, partly to tick it off the bucket list but also as a kicker to be more healthy and do more exercise. I am also really keen to use this as an opportunity to raise awareness for Diabetes UK (https://shop.diabetes.org.uk/) which is an incredible charity that really helps people with this disease. 

I'd really appreciate your financial support towards this charity and the boost it will give me knowing that I am able to raise funds whilst also doing something that will genuinely challenge me but hopefully get me fitter and healthier over the next 6-months and beyond!
