Hello. My name is Ian Roberts and in April 2012 I’ll be pounding every leg muscle I have into submission in an attempt to make it around 26 miles of London’s finest concrete streets in one piece. I have but two aims:
1. To spread awareness of type-1 diabetes to as many people as possible;
2. Raise £3,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
My fiancee, Eliza, was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes when she was 11 years old. Since meeting Eliza diabetes has become a condition very close to my heart.
If you’re not already aware, JDRF are a charity that exists to find the cure for type-1 diabetes and is the leading funder of research into the condition.
Over the coming months I’ll be writing a blog about all my training adventures (including updates on my Stadium Challenge - my attempt to run to every league football stadium in Greater London) and doing my best to inform the world about type-1 diabetes. If you’d like to keep up to date on my adventures you can Follow me, Like me, Google+ me or sign up to my RSS feed via my blog.
I look forward to encouraging you to sponsor me on probably the hardest and greatest thing I’ve ever done.
Thanks. Ian.
