Following his participation in the recent London Marathon, Richard has now been interviewed by ITV Channel about his reason for supporting Diabetes Jersey and what this has meant to his family.

Not only did Richard raise a significant amount of money, but his use of a sugarcube also resulted in hundreds of people researching to find out more about the rare genetic form of diabetes known as Maturity Onset of Diabetes in the Young (MODY)

You can still donate; Richard's story is on our website's news page.

Triple charity fundraiser 💥
Big thank you to Ramanathan (Ram) Harihara.
He has a huge £10,000 target, and Rams' challenge started this week, his aim is to run 1000 miles during the calendar year.

He is raising funds for Diabetes Jersey, The Kezia Fund and Manav Seva, (an orphanage in India). 👏

Ram is taking on a personal running challenge to help raise funds for Diabetes Jersey and support the vital work they do for individuals and families living with diabetes in the island.

Based in Jersey, Ramanathan is not a professional athlete, just someone who believes strongly in giving back to the community. " For me, this run is about more than miles and finish lines. It’s about raising awareness, encouraging conversations around health, and helping Diabetes Jersey continue providing education, support, and guidance to those who need it most. Every step I run is driven by the hope that, with greater awareness and funding, people living with diabetes can access the help and resources that make managing the condition a little easier."

We have had some contact/messages from you regards our North to South Walk for 2026.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, our charity event will not take place this year.

We’re incredibly grateful for all your support and enthusiasm. While we’re disappointed to pause for 2026, this is not goodbye, we will be back in 2027, and we’re already looking forward to making it bigger and better than ever.
