Story


Ive been running Plymouth half marathon every year since 2009 – luckily
I managed to get a place in the London Marathon in 2017 and managed
to raise £3500.00! By some incredible luck ive managed to bag myself
a place in the london marathon for 2018! i'll be runniong for JDRF
once again.

JDRF raises money towards finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes which my daughter Scarlett was diagnosed with age 2. She has her finger pricked for blood at least 6 times a day, which in the time since she was diagnosed is a least 10,300 times!! Along with that she endures regular canular changes, hospital check ups and high and low blood sugar episodes that can leave her feeling sick, dizzy and confused. Scarlett is a bright, funny, clever, kind, loving beautiful girl of who I couldn't be any prouder of and she copes amazingly well. My one hope is that one day she won't have to. So for her and the estimated 29,000 children in the UK living with Type 1 diabetes JDRF offers hope that one day a cure will be found. So please donate, give whatever you can, every penny is a step closer so finding that cure.

Scarlet is getting on board this year too! Ive somehow managed to convince her to run 6k with me whilst in training – every half mile she'll have 1 jelly baby to keep her going – im sure she'll out run me! 

You guys were extremely generous last year with all your donations – I know its a big ask but most of you will know how amazing and close to me this charity is, im hoping to raise £3000.00. Any help in fundraising or donations will be hugely appreciated


LETS TURN TYPE ONE TO TYPE NONE!

BIG LOVE
