On Sunday 13th October 2024,  I will be taking part in the Royal Parks Half-Marathon in London and am raising money for Diabetes UK.

My Dad has lived with Type 1 diabetes since his teens and has been a strong advocate for the charity over the years, himself raising funds and awareness for the charity by taking part in multiple marathons (including London and New York) and half-marathons around the world. 

Having completed my first half last year, I crossed the finishing line and immediately vowed to never do another one. But, as any fellow runners can attest, the feeling soon dissipated and a few days later I was already planning my next half.

Seeing as my Dad as done his bit for Diabetes UK over the years, I thought it fitting to try and at least raise a few quid myself to help keep up the good work he had done in previous events. 

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance to anyone donating.
