Both in terms of spectating and participating, I am about as unsporty as they get. 

So, plodding on for some 21km is undoubtedly going to be a personal challenge for me.

But living with Type 1 Diabetes, as I know all too well from my dear twin sister, is a day to day challenge that reminds the rest of us with normal functioning pancreases how easy we’ve got it.

The JDRF funds research to cure, prevent and treat Type 1 Diabetes, so that one day Type 1 Diabetes is a thing of the past. 

It's a great cause - please chip in.
