Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn more about Team Diabetes.

Team Diabetes Canada is a fundraising initiative of the Canadian Diabetes Association that challenges regular Canadians to raise money for charity while they strive to reach a personal goal - running a marathon.

While most of you are reading this because you know me, I'm hoping that some will be sent here by their friends and others will arrive by chance. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Julie Carter. I am a 35-year-old recreational runner living in Toronto, and I've never run a race in my life.

As a rookie marathon hopeful it is the dual challenge of fundraising and training to run 42km that drew me to join Team Diabetes. Right now I'm equally intimidated by these two daunting tasks... we'll see which one proves more difficult in the end!

Read on to learn more about the race and how to make a donation.

Over the next six months I will be planning a number of fundraising events - please join in and bring a friend!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, advice or training tips!
