A YOUNG woman with diabetes organised a day designed to help raise funds in the battle against the condition.
Staff at Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust wore blue for Diabetes UK on World Diabetes Day on Friday, November 14.
The event was organised by Sophie Sheppard, 20, who works at the trust as an administrator in the education department. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in May this year. This is one of a number of fundraising activities that she and her friends, Adam Stock and Liah Marshall-Jones, have organised.
These have included three half marathons run by Mr Stock in Cardiff, Wimbledon and Birmingham. He has now also successfully registered to run the London Marathon in 2015 for Diabetes UK. So far he has raised £500 for the charity. The trio held a fundraising day at Café Nero in Worcester on October 25, selling cupcakes and raffle tickets and raised £664.73 and now Ms Sheppard hopes her friends and colleagues will donate £1 and wear blue on World Diabetes Day.
