Mr Humphreys is running the marathon

Dear Parents

This week’s thought for the week has struck with particular resonance Have patience with all things, but first of all with yourself as I find myself not only recovering from a chest infection, but in the grips of training for the London Marathon on 26th April.

Why am I putting myself through this I hear you cry, well this year marks my 30th anniversary of becoming a Type 1 Diabetic. I remember well, being first diagnosed, and the nurse sitting on my bed in hospital telling me not to worry, they would find a cure in my lifetime. Well 30 years on and they are still looking.

I am running in order to raise money for the Charity JDRF (Junior Diabetic Research Foundation). This amazing charity aim to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. I would be so grateful if you would sponsor me in my endeavours.

If you click the link to my Just Giving page, it will explain a little more about my motivation!

With many thanks

Phil Humphreys
