Story

Very excited, and a little apprehensive, to be running the 2026 London marathon for Breakthrough T1D. I’ve never run a marathon before. The notion of running 26 miles in one go has always seemed like a mad idea. It still does. However, the opportunity to raise funds and awareness for this incredible charity makes it more than worth it.

Breakthrough T1D does vital work in finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. My mother, my sister and I all have Type 1 and our lives have been made immeasurably better by all the work Breakthrough T1D does.

So please support diabetics all over the world by donating towards my 26 miles of madness. Thank you!
