Three people whose lives have been affected by diabetes are preparing to run the Bristol half marathon to support the work of Diabetes UK.
Neil Tucker, Hannah Stephenson and Shane Walker will be tackling the 13.1-mile run next month to raise funds for the charity, which cares for, connects with and campaigns for people affected by diabetes.
Neil, from Clevedon, is undertaking the half marathon to highlight the dangers of undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes after his dad fell seriously ill and was later diagnosed with the condition.
Neil, who hopes to raise ?1,000 for the charity over 12 months, said: "It was a worrying time for my family when my dad was so ill. He now manages diabetes well with injections of insulin. I am fundraising for Diabetes UK to thank all those who have helped my dad since his diagnosis."
