Great North Run 2026
Campaign by Diabetes UK (RCN 215199)
The greatest half marathon in the world. For the last 85 years, Diabetes UK has been at the forefront of diabetes research. We've discovered how to put type 2 diabetes into remission and were working day in, day out to find a cure.

Story

Welcome to my AJ Bell Great North Run 2026 profile page for Diabetes UK.

As you may know our eldest daughter Jess was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in January 2025. We continue to be so proud of her determination, positivity and resilience as she manages the daily challenges diabetes throws at her.

Diabetes UK along with our local NHS have been incredible in their support and insightful information for both Jess and our family as a whole. This is my way of giving a bit back!

For those that know me, I am not much of a runner, but I am looking forward to raising some much needed funds for this amazing charity!

Did you know someone is diagnosed with diabetes every two minutes?

As many as 4.9 million people are living with diabetes in the UK right now.

So, I'm running towards a healthier me, and a better future for people living with diabetes. Support my challenge by hitting the donate button on my profile page.
