Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am participating in the Battersea Park Half Marathon on January 6th, 2024 to raise funds for Diabetes UK. This cause is close to my heart as my nephew Harvey was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 16 months ago. It was a scary time for our family, but we were fortunate enough to receive incredible support from the NHS, including dieticians and psychologists.
Unfortunately, Harvey is not alone in his diagnosis. There are currently 36,000 children in the UK living with diabetes and that number continues to rise each year. However, advancements in technology and research are making it easier for those living with diabetes to manage their blood glucose levels and insulin.
I am running this marathon to support Diabetes UK's efforts in raising awareness and funding research for better treatments and management options. My goal is to raise £ 250 for this important cause.
Please consider donating to help make a difference in the lives of those living with diabetes.
