I grew up seeing my mum suffering from Type 1 diabetes, right from the daily insulin injections to her getting into hypoglycemia - it has been a 'traumatic' experience and probably few lines won't be enough for me to describe the effects of that chronic disease. Type 1 diabetes isn’t caused by poor diet or an unhealthy lifestyle. In fact, it isn’t caused by anything that you did or didn’t do, and there was nothing you could have done to prevent it. As you might already be aware, diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation.

This year has finally given me the opportunity to bring my little contribution by doing the JDRF One walk (10K - London) and as I would call it 'a blessing in disguise' as it coincides on the eve of my birth date (23rd of September). I would be very grateful if you could please support me in this cause. The funds collected go into world class research programme focused on curing, treating and preventing type 1 diabetes (jdrf.org.uk). 

Thanks a lot for your help x
