Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm doing the Great North Swim in September http://www.greatswim.org/events/British-Gas-Great-North-Swim/ - a one mile swim across Lake Windermere in the Lake district.

I'm hoping to raise £300 for the charity diabetes UK http://www.diabetes.org.uk/. Diabetes can be a terribly debilitating disease and can cause serious complications in later life. 

My best friend was diagnosed with diabetes when she was just 13! I don’t need to tell you how difficult that must have been to come to terms with but with the help of diabetes UK, she has learned to manage and live with the condition.  She lives a full and happy life and I am so so grateful to this wonderful charity for contributing to that.

 

Diabetes UK offer a range of support for people of all ages and walks of life.  They also continue to conduct vital research in the area. 

 

As a charity Diabetes UK relies on donations and fundraising support.  Please help me contribute to the great work that they do. 

 

Best wishes and much love,

Bex
