Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since moving to the North East in 2006 I've always said I would do the Great North Run "at somepoint". You have to right? So this year is the year and I've chosen to run for Diabetes UK, a cause close to my family having grown up seeing my dad deal with the day to day injections, tests and taking back up chocolate and glucose supplies everywhere with us.

I need all the support and motivation to get training and get me through all those miles! Any donations would be much appreciated for a disease which is becoming more known about but as of yet there is more research needed especially for Type 1 as to what causes it and how to cure.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
