Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started the couch to 5k in March this year and secured my charity place running the virtual London Marathon (26.2 miles) on Sunday October 3rd this year raising money for Diabetes U.K. I've just completed the Exeter Half Marathon as part of my training programme, so I'm confident I can do this!

Why Diabetes U.K? Well, we have type 1 Diabetes running through our family, my grandad had it and lost half a leg due to complications with this disease. My sister was also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after slipping into a diabetic coma at the age of 9. Thankfully this was caught in time by my mum and the team at Exeter Hospital and my sister has just given birth to her first child - Evangelina (who is as cute as a button!). A couple of years ago a family friend wasn't as fortunate as my sister, he slipped into a diabetic coma whilst he was sleeping and didn't wake up. 

Diabetes U.K's vision is to create a world where diabetes can do no harm. With every pound you donate, Diabetes UK able to support more people to live well with diabetes, win political campaigns and break new ground in research. 

So please donate if you can, every £1 you donate makes a difference and will keep me motivated for every mile I run! There's 26.2 miles to run - did I mention that already? 😉

Thank you for your support and taking the time to read this.

Much love,
