Story
- Sometimes in life we get thrown things we don't want or need, but when this happens, some people grow strong and face whatever stands in their path.
- My 22 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 (insulin dependent) Diabetes late in 2014, and even though it was a shock to all of us, he has taken everything in his stride and I am incredibly proud of him for just dealing with it and getting on with lie.
- I feel helpless at times, and want to help, so I am channelling my energies into doing something worthwhile by raising funds for the charity 'InDependent Diabetes Trust' http://iddt.org/ by running the Bristol and Bath marathon (26.2 miles).
- Training for and running a marathon is hard work, and it takes over your life.
- I will be thinking of my son every step of every mile that I take from now to the finish line and beyond.
- Anything you can give will be appreciated by the charity, and of course by me.
