Hi Everyone, 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am running my first ever marathon to raise funds for the Diabetes UK. 

There is estimated to be over 4 million people living with diabetes in the UK at present. With this in mind, I would like to raise as much money as possible to fund research into a cure for diabetes. 

My parents have both suffered from Type 1 diabetes for 30 years and have had more than 35000 insulin injections between them. I have closely experienced how this condition has changed their lifestyle through witnessing daily insulin injections, carb counting and volatile glucose levels. 

In 2015, my mother was given less than a 30% chance of survival by the doctors before her coronary by-pass surgery which was a result of her deteriorating diabetes. She was lucky to survive the surgery, however, this really hit me how serious this condition was and propelled me to take action by joining the Diabetes UK as a volunteer speaker to spread awareness.

Please dig deep and help me raise as much money for the great charity as possible. together we can find a cure.

Thank you once again for your help and support.
