Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

As many of you will know our little princess Emily was diagnosed August 2010, just before her 2nd birthday, with Type 1 Diabetes and ever since that day, all of our lives have been a roller coaster ride.

Mark & I are running 26.2 miles around London dressed as Super Heroes, Iron Man & Wonder Woman which will be very hard but really is nothing compared to the daily battle all type 1 patients go through. 

Testing bloods every couple of hours, the mathmatical equations used to work out insulin requirements, weighing and counting foods/drinks, sleepless nights when poorly, watching out for hypo's and hyper's. There is never a minute that passes in the day that a diabetics life is normal. 

If you wish to see an insight into our lives please visit Mark's Diabetes blog @ dmreturnsdblog.wordpress.com

Ourselves and our little girl are not the only ones wanting to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes, there are around 26,500 children and young people with Type 1.

When you give so generously please remember every penny will amount to a cure. To give an idea where your hard earned money will go we have used a quote from JDRF: Every £60 you raise could help us fund an hour of this research.

Thank You for reading our story.

Amy, Mark and Emily
