Hi Everyone! In April, I'll be walking up to Everest Base Camp and raising money for Diabetes UK!

Everest Base Camp is no easy feat and this will test me both mentally and physically - a great way to get outside and get in shape too!

My Dad is a Type 1 diabetic so I've grown up with diabetes in my family and the medical and technological developments have provided him and many others the means to live a very normal life - so this is my opportunity to give back!

So what is diabetes? It's when your body either can’t make any insulin at all (Type 1 Diabetes) or the insulin you make either can’t work effectively, or you can’t produce enough of it (Type 2 Diabetes).

I'd be really grateful if you could support me in this challenge and anything you're able to give, as much or as little as you can, would be incredible! Thank you!!
