I was wondering whether there are any fundraising events planned? I live in Swindon and would like to start fundraising for diabetes but i dont know where to start! I am happy to volunteer or help organise car boots or anything really! Any ideas? Bev

Hi Bev,
Have you seen the following section of Diabetes UK website?
http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Get_involved/Raising_funds/
I raised money by running in the Great South Run last year. It was only a few months after my diagnosis and I was really touched by how many people donated because it was something that affected me directly rather than jsut a worthy cause I was supporting. I saw it as being self-interest
It was great so see others running for the same charity and get the cheers as I went round.Whatever you decide, good luck!
