Hi, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

They say that life begins at 40 and so the day after I reach this milestone, I have decided challenge myself to something I have wanted to do for many years - The London Marathon.

While I was thinking about the challenge, my thought process turned to raising money for charity and what cause should I support? My decision to run for Diabetes is mainly about a girl I know who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of just 12. Before this, I naively thought that Diabetes affects adults, so to hear of someone so young being diagnosed came as a shock to me

Fortunately, diabetes can be controlled to allow people to go about their everyday lives, but medical science has found no definitive cure

By donating, you will be supporting a very important charity which helps 2.9million people in many ways. Ask yourself if you know someone with Diabetes and I bet the answer is yes.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you
