Raising money for Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1070607

The Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation (DRWF) is a registered charity, established in 1998, to assist in the relief of persons with diabetes and to raise awareness about diabetes, its risks and symptoms and associated complications. DRWF is a medical research charity supporting Clinical and Non-Clinical Fellowships; Open Funding Projects; Studentships & Institutional Grants, primarily in the UK and internationally, as part of the DRWF network of charities. DRWFs main objective is 'staying well until a cure is found' and in furtherance of this aim, provides support to those with diabetes by way of a 'Diabetes Wellness Network'. The Wellness Network was founded because people with diabetes have to make decisions about their general health as well as their diabetes. The Network aims to help people with diabetes deal with these problems, whilst bearing in mind their diabetic condition. The Diabetes Wellness News, is the charity's monthly publication, working towards educating, informing and reminding of the best and healthiest choices to make. It is a digest of magazines, newspapers, books and scientific journals - bringing the reader first class articles from respected diabetes and other healthcare professionals.

I am running the 2 Oceans ultramarathon on 7 April (35 miles), the Paris marathon on 15 April & then the London marathon on 22 April, all for DRWF. I have chosen to run for this charity as my brother is diabetic & according to the World Health Organization, at least 171 million people worldwide suffered from diabetes in 2000, or 2.8% of the population. Its incidence is increasing rapidly, and it is estimated that by 2030, this number will almost double.

Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation is a registered charity (No. 1070607) established in the United Kingdom in 1998. Our long-term mission is to discover a cure for diabetes and in the meantime to support, advise and educate people living with diabetes and the general public.
