My Story

After being diagnosed with Diabetes (Type 2) last year I have become acutely aware of just how many people that it affects, either people I know personally, and also complete strangers that have shared their stories.

It is my belief that I spent at least a few years having it without being diagnosed, much through my own ignorance, thinking 'naaahhh, I ain't got Diabetes' - hell, I used to be proud of the fact that I had not seen a Dr in nearly 20 years, I now know that is nothing to be proud of. I have already significantly reduced my A1c, blood sugar level and a major factor in diabetes, from what it began at.... 99

, to a much better but still needs work, 64

What would have been great is better 'signposting', awareness campaigns in the media etc - so it is my hope that whatever monies I can raise, can go towards helping others.

Please can I ask that you consider sponsoring me for a 10 mile London Bridges walk in aid of Diabetes UK that I will be completing on Sunday 27th September this year

Please help me reach my goal

Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate. I am a UK tax payer and want Diabetes UK to treat the donations I have made in the past four years and all future donations as Gift Aid donations. I understand that my donations are eligible for the scheme if I pay enough UK Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover the amount of tax that all charities I donate to will reclaim in that tax year. If I pay less it is my responsibility to pay back the difference. Please tell us if you change your name, address or no longer pay sufficient tax. Your full name and home address are needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
