Hi Alan ..

Just a quick thought .. Have you approached any companies for sponsorship? Most have money set aside for such purposes, as it can be claimed back and set off against tax puposes ... I'm sure one or two of the major Pharmacutical suppliers will be more than happy to help .. as would smaller firms ..

Hi Heidi, the JDRF pack I received has lots of ideas in it, so I will be working my way through it in the coming week - part of it is a letter writing campaign!🙂

Great! Keep the ideas coming in!:D
 
MMMMM.... How about approaching your local newspaper, and getting them to run a feature .... that will also help raise awareness of Diabetes .

Another idea .... How about another poster we could all download and put up in our dr's and hospital clinincs

Well, I was on for a great run this morning - would have been just over 6 miles - but unfortunately I hit a problem at around 4.5 miles when I felt something 'go' in my calf.😱 I'm hoping it's not too serious, but at the moment I can barely walk, let alone run. Things have got slightly better as the day has gone on, but it's probably going to take a week out of my training I imagine.:(

But don't worry! I'll still do it! So please keep sponsoring me!:D

You can read the (sorry!) story of this morning's run on my blog:

Hi Northerner ...

Have you stained a tendon in your calf or the muscle ?? ... Try a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel on your calf muscle for periods of half hours .. this may help with any inflamation and pain
