Walk 10 miles

I’m doing the Diabetes Walk for a reason that is very close to my heart. I’ve been on my own fitness and weight-loss journey, and there was a time when I was pre-diabetic. That was a wake-up call for me to take control of my health and make a change in my lifestyle.

Walking became one of the ways I started changing my life. It wasn’t always easy, but I kept pushing myself. Along the way, I wanted my mum to join me too. My mum has Type 2 diabetes, and I wanted to encourage her to walk with me, stay active and believe that small changes can make a difference.

I’m so proud of her because she has also been on her own weight-loss journey, and she’s been making progress. Clap for my mum! We motivate each other, support each other and remind one another that we don’t have to do this alone.

This Diabetes Walk is more than just a walk for me. It represents my journey from prediabetes to taking control of my health, my mum’s journey with Type 2 diabetes, and the importance of supporting each other as a family.

I also want to use my journey to support and inspire others who may be struggling with their health, weight or diabetes. I want people to know that they don’t have to make changes alone, and that every small step counts. Whether it’s going for a walk, encouraging a loved one or simply choosing to start again, we can motivate each other and make a difference together.

I want to keep pushing myself, keep encouraging my mum, and support others on their own journeys. This is not about being perfect; it’s about making progress, looking after our health and reminding one another that it’s never too late to start.

For my health. For my mum. For everyone on their own journey. One step at a time, we’re doing this together.

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.
