After watching a friend run the 2009 London Marathon, i've decided to take the plunge again following my 2003 experience. The NHS trust i work for organises and runs practical courses in managing type 1 diabetes and i will be supporting this great cause and helping to make a real difference to patients. Type 1 diabetes is a condition that you cannot prevent. About 35,000 people in the UK are affected and the number is growing all the time. It is a leading cause of kidney failure, adult blindness, stroke, heart attack and nerve damage leading to amputations. The BERTIE courses are proving so successful there is now a two year waiting list. With your help, the trust could offer this course much sooner, to many more of our patients with diabetes. Further information can be found at www.doitforbertie.com.
So please dig deep and donate now.
