I am are taking part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon on the 7th April in aid of Diabetes UK, a charity close to my heart. 

I have been type 1 diabetic for over 13 years and it affects over 400,000 in the UK.

Type 1 diabetes is a serious autoimmune condition that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks beta cells within the pancreas, which then stop producing insulin. As a result, glucose levels in your blood start to rise, and your body can’t function unless you replace the insulin.

It can be a struggle mentally and physically, so I wanted to challenge myself to running a half marathon (I am no runner).

I am very grateful for any donation and your donation will be going towards research to help find a cure for Type 1!
