I will be running Royal Parks half marathon next month on behalf of team Diabetes UK! As a type 1 diabetic myself, I think this work is particularly important. This charity focuses on funding research for new treatments/cures, providing support to people living with diabetes and their families, and campaigning for better care and a world free from the harm of the condition.

I do enjoy running (sometimes – usually when its 75 degrees and sunny…), but I would never claim to be good at it. So I don’t have expectations on time. Just want to enjoy the morning, raise money for an important cause, and hope my blood sugar levels cooperate (nothing kills a decent run more than a low).

If you are feeling charitable, any contribution would be greatly appreciated!
