OF the lucky readers allocated places in this year's London Marathon on April 22, I want to ask those who have not yet decided which charity to run for, to consider Diabetes UK.
Among our many activities we organise holidays and family weekends for children with diabetes and their families. We also fund research, spending around £4.5 million each year on approximately 150 projects, which we hope will lead to more effective treatments and eventually the prevention and a cure for diabetes.
Marathon runners who would like to support Diabetes UK should contact Kathryn Aldridge on 0207 462 2649 or email kathryn.aldridge@diabetes.org.uk.
