Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Did you know..?

- There are 2.5 million people diagnosed with diabetes in the UK

- There are an estimated 500,000 people in the UK who have diabetes but don't know it

- Someone in the UK learns they have diabetes every three minutes

Diabetes is serious - if left untreated it can lead to heart disease, stroke, amputation and other life threatening conditions. Diabetes UK works to support people with diabetes, their families and those researching a cure for diabetes and means of preventing it.

 

I developed Type 1 diabetes just over 10 years ago. I am determined that I will control my diabetes, rather than the other way round, and so far I have managed to live a full and active life.

I plan to continue this by completing the 3 Peaks Challenge in 2010, starting on the 6th June, to raise money for Diabetes UK. I shall be walking with Richard and Martin, who will be raising money for Asthma research and Help for Heroes respectively.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
