<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>My reason for raising money for Diabetes UK and my motivation for dragging my slightly overweight frame around a 10K course is my 4 year old son.&nbsp; At the age of 2 he was diagnosed as Type 1 diabetic and is insulin dependent for life.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>My family and I are truly grateful for the&nbsp;help and support that we have received over the past 2 years shown to us by Diabetes UK and more specifically the&nbsp;Paediatric Team at Maidstone Hospital. This is my way of giving something back.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For me, blisters, aches and exhaustion is frankly a small and insignificant price to pay as I hope to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In time, my blisters will heal, my aches will&nbsp;ease and my exhaustion will stop. Type 1 diabetes will not stop. It cannot be cured. But, with investment into research aided by fundraising, one day there might just be a cure. There might be an end to this horrible condition.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for getting this far and thank you for your generous donation.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
