Diabetes UK is the charity leading the fight against the UK's devastating and fastest growing health crisis, working to create a world where diabetes can do no harm. It’s a fight that involves all of us – sharing knowledge and taking diabetes on together. Join us.

Story

We take on the London marathon 2026 for Diabetes UK. As many of you will know, this is a charity extremely close to both of our hearts. Katherine’s husband and a very dear friend of Hannah’s, Jack Riddington had type 1 diabetes from the age of 2. Diabetes UK has always been a major support to Jack and his family. Jack was one of the first children to trial the insulin pump at the age of 4.

Jack sadly passed away on the 8th January 2024 after a very sudden brain hemorrhage at the age of 29. Jack was always enthusiastic for life, would take on any challenge and was a best friend to many.

We are running the marathon to honour Jack and give our appreciation to Diabetes UK. We hope the money raised can continue to help support families navigating life with diabetes.

Jack, we miss you every day and hope we do you proud.

Thank you so much for your support. It means so much.

Kat & Hannah
