Welcome to my Brighton Marathon 2025 profile page for Diabetes UK.

Did you know someone is diagnosed with diabetes every two minutes? More than 5 million people are living with diabetes in the UK right now.

My sister was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from a very tender age. Try as she might to live a normal life, having type 1 makes that near enough impossible, daily injections and finger pricking to blood test (thankfully less common now), it is a massive challenge for any adult let alone for children to be facing.

So, I'm running to support her and to show my recognition for her daily fight and her resilience and to my admiration for her.
