Young Lewis Fell’s battle with ill-health has spurred his parents into action.

Lewis, 10, from Houghton, near Carlisle, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last year resulting in him spending time in hospital and enduring seven insulin injections a day.

Now mum and dad, Peter and Julie Fell, have decided to take part in the Bupa Great North Run in Newcastle on September 7.

They are determined to raise money and awareness after their son was diagnosed with diabetes in January 2013.

Julie, 38, a teacher at Robert Ferguson Primary School in Carlisle took him to the doctor because she was worried about his health.
