Sponsoring Diabetes UK will support work which makes living with the disease manageable, and it will also fund critical research into all forms of diabetes and its fatal complications.

Diabetes UK has delivered life-changing breakthroughs which mean people living with diabetes are living easier, healthier, and longer lives. Their scientists work tirelessly to find life-changing new treatments and to move closer towards finding a cure. Since being diagnosed, I have had nearly 60,000 injections - so it's fair to say that the work Diabetes UK does really does bring a lifeline of hope to the diabetes community who are desperate for change.

I am taking on this challenge in a bid to work towards a healthier me, and a better future for people living diabetes. I am therefore making a commitment to run my first ever half marathon in April.
