Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

We fund vital diabetes research to establish the causes; develop improved management and treatment options; and ultimately find a cure, we also aim to ensure that people have access to the right information and support to develop a proactive self-care approach to successful self-management.

Story

I am running the 2 Oceans ultramarathon on 7 April (35 miles), the Paris marathon on 15 April & then the London marathon on 22 April, all for DRWF. I have chosen to run for this charity as my brother is diabetic & according to the World Health Organization, at least 171 million people worldwide suffered from diabetes in 2000, or 2.8% of the population. Its incidence is increasing rapidly, and it is estimated that by 2030, this number will almost double.

Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation is a registered charity (No. 1070607) established in the United Kingdom in 1998. Our long-term mission is to discover a cure for diabetes and in the meantime to support, advise and educate people living with diabetes and the general public.
