LDC is proud to announce that a team of 20 took part in 2009's 26.2 mile London Marathon.

The team consisted of 20 LDC employees and friends. In the past two years LDC has raised over £300,000 through the generosity of our friends and supporters across the UK for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation ("JDRF"). This year we recognise that we are living in extraordinary times and whilst our aim is to raise as much money as possible to support this worthy cause our target was more modest.

By way of background, JDRF exists to find the cure for type 1 diabetes. It funds research that will one day help children live without a lifetime of blood tests and insulin injections and is currently funding a study developing a groundbreaking new way of automatically administering insulin, a system known as the 'artificial pancreas' enabling children to achieve normal blood glucose control and reduce the risk of developing the devastating complications later in life.

For more information visit the JDRF website and all donations can be made via the Just Giving website.
