Well Walk (Leeds)

 

I am willingly putting on my trainers to walk 10K to raise money for Diabetes UK. Since my diagnosis I have realised how much diabetes can change your life, and how important it is to have support from charities like Diabetes UK, not just the health care professionals. There are lots of misconceptions about the disease, and by spreading the word they are helping to educate people and raise awareness. This will be the most exercise I have done in a long time so please support me!

I did it!! 10k in 1 hour 35 mins- not bad for someone who hates exercise! Had a really good day, the sun was shining, it was brilliant to be surrounded by people all helping to fundraise for Diabetes, and Temple Newsam was a beautiful place to walk in- although I was glad to get home and sit on the sofa with my feet up! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, it really was incredibly generous, and spurred me on when faced with a steep hill to think of you all wishing me well! Thank y
