So .... At 5am this morning while sitting in garden with the cats .. Reviewing last radio show....as u do at 5am ...

It hit me !!!
An idea that will raise awareness and give media light to the matter at hand...plus raise much needed funds
....
"Quote from
2012DUK report "
There are 2.9 million people who have been diagnosed with diabetes in the UK (2011).2 By 2025, it is estimated that five million people will have diabetes in the UK.3It is equivalent to:- more than 400 people every day- over 17 people every hour- around three people every ten minutes."

Near 20 people an hour get the news ....they Have D....

So this idea is rolling around gathering pace .. Ideas that roll of each other like silk .....able to foresee issues and deal with them as mulling along ...
See the potential for this to become a yearly challenge ...
Then it hits me.....

Where do I start ! I mean how do u get 20 of some of the top pros in their division to give up 3m.45secs of their time ...all at same time ?!

Why 3m45sec?
Well if u take an hour and and allot 17 people to that hour who was told they got D ... Gives u about this time....again why....
Well not telling the full idea here - but let's say.... Radio and Djs!!

But .... I never done one like this
But as I quite my job in Whitehall ... Have loads of time ..And no idea where to start !!!!

Any advice on how u got ur fund raising idea of the ground ?!
