Welcome to my London Landmarks Half Marathon profile page for Diabetes UK!

In April 2020, after the birth of my beautiful baby girl in December 2019, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It's been a rollercoaster trying to adjust to life without insulin! Fewer than one in ten people have Type 1 Diabetes and there is still no known cause or cure.

Finding the balance with taking insulin and exercising is a huge challenge and one I am still adjusting to. Since completing Couch to 5k in 2021, I have managed to complete the Hampton Court and London Winter Run 10k's... Now for the big 21k challenge!

Living with diabetes is scary, I had no idea what it was or the implications (short and long term) before I was diagnosed. I know that I will feel SO proud if I am able complete the London Landmarks Half Marathon and even more so if I am able to raise money towards the continuous research into curing Diabetes... a real pain in the a*se of a disease that literally affects EVERYTHING!

Thank you!
