Story

Thank you so much for visiting my just giving page!

FEBRUARY CHARITY RAFFLE HAS BEEN DRAWN.

My dad, Clive was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and was nearly a fatal case as his body stopped producing insulin. Insulin is needed as it helps blood sugar enter the body's cells so it can be used for energy.

Since diagnosis dad has many checks and tests to ensure his being managed as well as daily injections to control and balance his blood sugar levels. If his blood sugar drops his energy levels rapidly decrease making simple tasks extremely difficult it’s something Diabetes UK have helped him personally to manage & as a family we are incredibly grateful to them & for all the work they do!

The charity holds a very special place in my heart as they along with the medical team have saved my dads life.

So here goes I am taking on London marathon a whole 26.2 miles on Sunday 21st April and any donations would be so gratefully received in helping me on my journey to raising £2,100.

The raffle is available throughout all of February with 28 AMAZING prizes. £5 per number and please ensure you state your name so I can enter you into the raffle.

Winners will be announced on 1st March at 19:00!

Good luck & thank you so much for supporting me!

Time to get running…eeekkkk!!
