Story
I will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon by a type 1 diabetic on 19th October 2025 at the Yorkshire marathon - currently 2:30:09.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 19 years old which was a big shock and very overwhelming. Despite the challenges and unpredictability of running with diabetes, it helps my blood glucose control, my mental clarity and reminds me of how strong and resilient I am.
Achieving a world record would not only be a huge personal achievement but it will hopefully inspire others and raise awareness of diabetes. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
