Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year we are taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon! We are running to raise money for the amazing charity Diabetes UK. Diabetes UK, is a charity that supports people living with diabetes and funds vital research into better treatments, and one day, a cure. There are 5 Million people living with Diabetes in the UK, and 400,000 of them have Type 1. As Diabetes UK puts it, Type 1 is when the insulin producing cells in the pancreas have been attacked and destroyed by your immune system. Diabetes affects millions of people in the UK every day, and the work Diabetes UK does helps people live safer, healthier lives while pushing forward life-changing research.

As someone who has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, I know first hand how much of an impact thier work can have on new patients. Diabetes UK helped me to understand the chronic illness I had been given as well as learning how to look after myself.

If you have a couple pounds spare to support a great charity and some mad people who want to call themselves runners, it would be very much appreciated 💖
