Thank you to Sinfin Running Club

Last May, I joined Sinfin Running Club and they have been great.  The club have supported me all the way with running sessions, advice, and helping me to achieve a PB in the Derby 10k a few weeks ago.  Chris Morrison kindly let me talk to the club members last week on my motivation for running a marathon.  This enabled me to talk about Type 1 diabetes.  I was able to explain how it is an auto-immune disease and not a lifestyle issue that can be linked to Type 2 diabetes.  I was also able to explain about JDRF and how having type 1 diabetes has affected my daughter Clare and ourselves as a family.  The club members were very generous in supporting me by filling in sponsor forms.  I will be joining a few of them in London on Sunday, and I am looking foward to celebrating with them when I have finished.
