<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Last year a very dear friend of mine died as a result of diabetes. &nbsp;We were housemates during my third year at University, and I never thought that 14 years later I would be running a half marathon in his memory.</p> <p>Around 2 million people in the UK have the condition, and up to 750,000 more have it without knowing.</p> <p>Diabetes UK is the leading charity for people with diabetes. At any given time, hundreds of Diabetes UK-funded researchers are engaged in projects committed to improving the care and treatment of diabetes, preventing it from developing in those at risk and, ultimately, finding a cure.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Dan.</p>
