Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I feel truly privileged to have been selected by Tesco's charity partnership to run the London Marathon for Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation.

Type 2 diabetes and heart disease are two of the UK's biggest health problems. Both conditions can be fatal and having Type 2 diabetes can double your risk of developing heart disease.

That's why Tesco is working with Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation. They are aiming to raise £30 million to help millions of people to be healthier. Half of the money raised through fundraising is investedd in projects to inspire millions of people to eat better, get active and reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The other half of the money is split between charities to help fund their vital research and ongoing work.

I don't plan to raise the full £30 million but I'd love your help getting to my goal of £2000 (which quite frankly is more nerve-racking than the running will be!)

Every little helps! :)
