In April 2024, I signed up to run the 2025 Brighton marathon - at the time I was living in Spain with a lot of free time on my hands meaning I thought it would be the perfect year to start training. However, in July 2024 I was unexpectedly diagnosed with type one diabetes.

Running a marathon now seems like an even bigger challenge!

Looking on the bright side, it has presented me with the opportunity to raise awareness and make a difference by supporting Diabetes UK, a charity dedicated to researching and supporting those affected by diabetes.

If you'd like to learn more about Type One diabetes, Diabetes UK have produced a simple two minute video https://youtu.be/C3AQIfgthh4?si=70_NSuFV15H4oC7E

Any donation would be appreciated no matter how big or small - wish me luck!
