Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving fundraising page.  Your time to read this is much appreciated.

I've lived with Diabetes for 30 years and in many respects I know no other way of life.   It ain't easy, in fact its bloomin' difficult to keep on top of it and is not something I would wish on anyone.

To think that one day there could be a breakthrough where the world is set free from a poorly performing pancreas and you wouldn't believe the relief that would bring.    May not happen in my lifetime, but one day someone will make a breakthrough ... we want Diabetes UK , along with future generations of adults and children, to have every resource they need to meet the challenge ahead.

I do appreciate you all have so many calls for sponsorship of this kind.  Remember this isn't for me, it's for Diabetes Uk.   

As partners we will be hugely grateful for any contribution to build a handsome total....no contribution is too small for a cause like this.

Thank you kindly.

Charlie
