Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am so happy to be raising money for Diabetes UK through walking 1 Million Steps between July 1st & September 30th 2018.
I honestly have no idea how many steps I do a day - but working in an office and catching the bus to work I highly doubt I’m doing that many a day. I’m looking forward to finding ways of getting my daily steps up that don’t include running up and down the stairs on a night!
Both my dad and my youngest step-brother have diabetes - my dad, Chris, has type 2 diabetes; whilst my brother Charlie has type 1. I want to raise as much money as possible for diabetes research as I know the struggle it is to live a normal life whilst having diabetes. Both my dad and Charlie inject insulin before every meal, counting carbs and watching their levels constantly.
Every single bit of research done by Diabetes UK goes towards making life a bit easier for those who deal with this everyday. Getting a better understanding of the causes, both genetically and socially, mean we can try prevent further people having to go through this!
