Help me reach my goal of £250

My Story

Welcome to my Diabetes UK Wellness Walk fundraising page!

I’m walking for Diabetes UK this September to support the 5.8 million people in the UK who live with diabetes, day in day out. And you can too, just by making a donation.

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

Diabetes UK are on a mission to create a world where diabetes can do no harm by funding vital research into life-changing treatments and providing support to help people to live well with diabetes. But they need our help. No matter how much you can give, it will make a difference.

So please donate today.

Lostwithiel Bingo Fundraisers Do It Again!

Wednesday 23rd Sep

2 weeks to go!

Sunday 13th Sep
So its only a fortnight to go until the Wellness Walk in London!
The big news is that I've had to take the heart-breaking, but sensible decision to change from the 10 mile challenge to the 5 mile challenge due to my left leg ulcer that is still not healed yet. I've got 1 more week of antibiotics to take still, but I've got to say the pain has got a lot more manageable thankfully. I'm sure I'll be back next year to Walk the 10 miles and the 11 bridges! (In fact I could do the course myself next spring as I can remember the way and really enjoyed those 11 Iconic London Bridges) So now is the time to concentrate on getting the healing of my ulcer just right, but also add some movement into my days so the 5 miles isn't a complete shock to the system! Also its time to share my page and my story with you all and ask for your kindness in sponsoring me if you could please, every £1 makes such a difference, not just to Diabetes UK, but also to me, especially my mental health and wellbeing. Knowing I have support with all my challenges really makes my heart warm and fuzzy. 

A New Month Brings a New Focus.

Sunday 31st May
Tomorrow is the 1st June.

Now whilst this Wellness Walk Challenge isn't until September, it's time to think about what training will entail during the summer to prepare me for this.

Last years challenge saw me end the 10 miles with a blister on the bottom of my foot that took a little while to heal from.

This year I want to be more resilient and better prepared to deal with any such issues.

On Tuesday I pick up my new bespoke shoes that have been made for me by the NHS, especially for my right foot that is obviously missing 4 toes! How exciting.

I will obviously need to break these new shoes in gently, so no other issues are made for my feet (Rubbing on heels etc) but these shoes really could be a game changer!

I will share a picture once i pick them up on Tuesday!

Thanks for all your love and support!
