I am running the London Landmarks half marathon with my daughter Tilly to raise money for diabetes UK. Tilly was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 5 years ago. She has a fabulous team around her of friends, family and professionals but the daily impact of type 1 cannot be underestimated. Tilly approaches her diabetes with calm determination and has never let this autoimmune condition stand her way. I am raising money to make sure others in her position get the support they need and also that we raise awareness around type 1 and the mental and physical impact it has on so many young people. Training for this half marathon has shown me, yet again, that Tilly faces constant challenges in managing her condition - but refuses to let it stop her!

More than 5 million people are living with diabetes in the UK right now. So, I'm taking on this challenge this month towards a healthier me, and a better future for people living with and affected by diabetes. Support my challenge by hitting the donate button on my profile page.
