Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 25th of March I'm going to be running my first ever half marathon (which is a huge deal for anyone who knows me because I CANNOT run very far). I'm running to raise money for JDRF, a charity that is trying to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and one that is very close to my heart. 

I've chosen to run for JDRF as my boyfriend, who is now going to be running with me, suffers from type 1 diabetes and I'm one of the few people who sees the struggles he goes through on a daily basis and would love nothing more than there to one day be a cure for everyone diagnosed with type 1.

Most of us can eat and drink whatever we want and never have to think twice about it but people with type 1 have to constantly remember to inject or have a pump attached to them which seriously effects their day to day life. Think about having to remember to bring a pen with you everywhere you go in case you decide to have a spontaneous snack, or always having to bring glucose tablets/biscuits with you in case your blood sugar drops. It's not easy and it's not fair on all the young people suffering.

Please donate anything you can to help raise awareness of this condition and to help find cure!

I would really appreciate any donation, big or small!

Thank you!
