Following on from FredManRaves post where his son has recently been diagnosed with T1 Diabetes, it just so happened that my company at the start of July embarked on a 1million step challenge in order to raise funds for Diabetes UK. There are four of us in the business and to be honest by the end of September when the challenge finishes I would like to think we will achieve 3million steps.
The inspiration behind this relates to my personal trainer, Hollie who is only 24 and was diagnosed with T1 at the age of 10. Hollie has recently had her second daughter. Her diabetes has caused her sight issues and also she has a renal check once a year. Her own personal condition has prevented her from obtaining life assurance, which with a young family is essential for both her and her partner. I have worked with her for the last two years and the result is that I have gone from a fat 51 year old topping 19 stone to a slim, toned 53 year old weighing in at around 14 stone. She has been a real inspiration to me. She never moans or complains about her condition and both her pregnancies have been far from easy.
So below is a link and I know that as a community on this board, us brotherhood of R's have been generous over the years to various causes, so please, even if it is a fiver, the donation will be more than appreciated.
Many thanks in advance. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR'SSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the donation Hants. It is amazing how common this illness is when you start to talk about it. And because it is a condition that people are able to live with, it still provides a lot of issues for sufferers, such as sight loss, limb loss, kidney problems etc. | |
