Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Sooo almost 10 Years to the month of this trek I developed a serious bout of pancreatitis due to gallstones!!! I thought I had trapped wind 😂😂😂 ( and so did my friend who later went on to become a nurse😁 top diagnosis 😂 you know who you are !!! ) until I was yelling call an ambulance... so after a few weeks of being unconscious I woke with the gift of diabetes 🤪 as anyone will tell you it’s not just keeping off the sweets!!! And I bloody love sweets ❤️ It comes with a whole range of issues and complications... including depression and mental heath issues.. yep I turned into a bit of a nut job ( but I believe that might just be me 🤪🤪🤪) along with the countless injections and pancreas operations and physical and mental  highs and lows it is hard to get ur head round but my mum was a diamond.. and my 2  girls that looked after mummy when I really needed it.❤️

So being a bit of a sucker for an adventure , and biting off more than I can chew, here I am about to embark on a high altitude trek along the Inca trail to Machu Picchu while I still have feet and can see( bad diabetes joke!!)  and what better way to do it know that you are raising funds for Diabetes UK. One day there may be a cure but until then they provide a whole heap of answers and a fantastic support network.

So people please dig deep and donate... send me a message.. text.. email.. pigeon carrier??  So I can personally thank you!!!!!

Until then.... much love .. be happy ..and don’t forget to smile 😁😁😁😁😁😁
