Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In April this year I had a gastric bypass.  As a Type 2 diabetic on insulin instead of getting fitting I was getting worse and putting on weight (which ultimately doesn't help).

Since the operation I have not had to take any insulin and I have so far lost over 6 stone in weight.

I am now trying to get healthier and as I love to swim thought that by swimming I could raise lots of money for Diabetes UK through your help.

You may think swimming 22 miles isn't that far but it is the same as swimming the English Channel and is my first challenge for my new regime.  The challenge is to swim 22 miles during February, March and April 2018.  Training starts today.

Please help me raise money to help other diabetics who are in need of support.
