Fundraiser for Diabetes Jersey

Massive thanks to Richard Mayo, who will be running the London Marathon on Sunday, 26th April, for Diabetes Jersey (DJ).

This is in recognition of DJ, who generously funded the essential MODY genetic testing at Exeter University Hospital. This testing is to establish if local families, including his own, carry a mutated gene linked to diabetes and has cost DJ an estimated £12,000 so far.

MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) is a rare form of Diabetes, different from type 1 and type 2, and runs strongly in families.
