A beloved wife, mother and (my incredible) Nan, Betty Honeysett (11 December 1933-18 November 2000) is someone who, almost every day, I wish I could've had more time with. To mark the 25th anniversary of her passing, I'll be taking to the seafront to run Brighton Marathon this April for Diabetes UK.

Fundraising on behalf of #TeamDUK is an extraordinary privilege. It allows me to contribute to the lives of those like my Nan in ways I couldn't have as a four-year-old; honour the immeasurable strength of my family, who not only supported my Nan through this period of her life but each other after her passing; and champion the ongoing work, research, and dedication of those working for Diabetes UK in the ongoing fight towards a better future.

Your support and generosity play a crucial role in helping Diabetes UK to:

💌 Provide care, support and advice to millions of people, helping them to manage their diabetes.

🩺 Campaign for change so people get the best treatments and standards of care.

🔬 Fund ground-breaking research into new treatments and cures to help save lives.

Above all else, my Nan was the most wonderful woman, and despite only knowing her for a fraction of my life, I'm beyond excited to be taking on this challenge to celebrate her 🤍
