Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Diabetes is a disease for which the mental health impact is often overlooked. The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) is a registered charity and was formed in 1994. They are concerned with listening to the needs of people who live with diabetes, understanding those needs and doing their utmost to offer help and support. They not only want to help those who actually have diabetes but also their carers – the husbands, wives, partners and parents, indeed, all who ‘live with diabetes’. They recognise that when one person in a family has diabetes, all other family members are affected to a greater or lesser extent and they all have views and needs which may be different from the person with diabetes, but nevertheless are important.

I am doing the AJ Bell Triathlon in August. Over the next few months I'm going to somehow prepare myself for a 1500m swim in the Thames, a 40km bike ride and 10km run. Any support is welcome!
