Story

I entered this just for the hell of it as I fancied a challenge - and am now wondering what I’ve got myself into! 

Many of you know that Adam got diagnosed with type 1 ten years ago aged 6 and our world got turned upside down. In January this year, Jamie aged 14 also got diagnosed and my life has once again been rocked beyond belief 💔I wish I could take it away and fix it but this is part of their lives now and forever. I am so so proud of them both. We live with this every minute of every day, carb counting, injecting insulin, monitoring blood sugar levels and treating hypos..All I hope is that research will help to make their lives easier over time and find new ways to help manage their condition.  

So I’ve decided that I’ll ask for sponsorship for this challenge - which will also help me through the hours of training that I have ahead of me!
