Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I would do anything to help us get one step closer to curing T1 Diabetes. I am aware of the daily struggles and frustrations  people face even when they are doing everything they can. People with type 1 diabetes face a daily challenge of repeated injections, finger pricking and battles with feelings of anger, despression and just wanting a normal life.

Type 1 diabetes affects about 400,000 people in the UK, 26,000 of them children.  Incidence is increasing by about four per cent each year particularly in children under five, with a five-fold increase in this age group in the last 20 years.

It is a chronic, life threatening condition which has a life-long impact on those diagnosed with it and their families. People with type 1 diabetes rely on multiple insulin injections or pump infusions every day just to stay alive, until we find the cure.

I am also working towards a massive personal achievement...I have not taken part in anything like this before, I started running properly only a few months ago following years of on and off...I'm the girl that was so overweight at school id do anything to skip PE and furthest I'd run was 2 meters, and that was only if food was the purpose for it!

Thank you 😀
