Thanks for visiting my page...for those of you who know me you'll know i very much DO NOT run marathons! But next year i am lucky enough to have a place to run the London Marathon to raise money for JDRF - and help contribute to a cause that's recently come much closer to home.

Our family, friends and colleagues, like so many have faced the upending reality of dealing with the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in recent years. It's tough on you, but its much tougher on the young people learning to live with it. JDRF are a brilliant charity and well worth a few quid to help if you can!

JDRF are committed to eradicating type 1 diabetes and its effects for everyone in the UK with type 1, and at risk of developing it. They're working tirelessly to:

- Fund research approved and administered by an international research programme to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes

- Make sure research moves forward and treatments are delivered faster

- Give support and a voice to people with type 1 and their families

- Joining a global movement to create a world without type 1

Every £ raised makes a difference, no matter how big or small - so if you can spare some cash i'd be hugely grateful!

Hope to see you on the day and thanks

Jordan
