Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm taking on the iconic London Marathon, hoping that it'll be third time lucky. I had plantar fasciitis the first time, chest infections during my second training block, so this time I'm putting everything I've learned into making sure I get the marathon I've worked for.

It may seem like type one diabetes doesn't stop me however it's a known risk factor for plantar fasciitis and infections. Put simply, running a marathon would be far easier if I didn't have T1D.

It's because diabetes affects me every single day, and all those who live with this life long condition, that I continue to fundraise for Breakthrough T1D. I've seen incredible medical progress in the 30+ years that I've had diabetes, and I still believe I'll see a cure in my lifetime but we need money to get this.
