Proud family praise fundraising Lenny

A youngster with Type 1 diabetes and his dad have completed a marathon challenge to raise funds for JDRF.

Lenny Lehane, aged 10, ran the children’s ‘Mini Mile’ of the Brighton Marathon, while dad David completed the full 26.2 miles last month to raise more than £800.

Mum Kirsty said: “Lenny was four years old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Now 10 years old he continues treatment with 24-hour insulin pump therapy and daily treatments to manage this life-long condition. He is doing really well with his diabetes.

“We are really proud of him, he’s our superstar. It was a fantastic weekend with beautiful weather.”

We are really proud of him, he’s our superstar

The Leicestershire family has backed JDRF since Lenny was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
