In my recent experience, diabetes sucks. Today's research can help save future youngsters from the unpleasant daily routine and crushing complications that type I diabetes presents.
The last time I ran 26.2 miles I had a fully functioning pancreas. No more. But that doesn't mean I won't set a new personal best in my first running of the New York Marathon.
I hope that you will donate as much as you can. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. Please note, however, that since the JDRF is a UK organization, donations are made in GBP, *not* US dollars. At time of writing, one GBP is approximately $2.
Finally, don't forget to check my progress on race day!
Cheers! My many sincere thanks.
UPDATE!
The marathon went really well on Sunday, and I did set a personal best of 3:49:51. Sure, it's only a record by a minute and 33 seconds, but that is a whopping 3 1/2 seconds per mile. Still nothing? Well, fine.
