The mission continues, the madness goes with it.

It’s well known by now that life is never slow for Marie Tilley. Last year Telegraph Sport featured her ongoing efforts to raise funds for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), done through a schedule of endurance events that many couldn’t even comprehend.

Since then, her unique efforts have been recognized, and last November, she was presented with the Special Achievement honour at the 2017 Sport Pembrokeshire awards, in acknowledgement of her raising more than £15,000 for a cause particularly close to her heart.

That figure has risen since as she bears down on the £20,000 mark, all while the single mum looks after children Theo (11) and Marley (eight).

It was Marley being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a condition Marie’s sister Louise also has to manage, that first inspired the 39-year-old to help her chosen charity, with the dream of contributing towards an eventual cure.

Perhaps understandable then, that she’s in no mood to slow down, and on July 14th, is set to climb Snowdon with members of her Marie’s Marvels group – who she trains on a weekly basis along with a Marie’s Minis' session for youngsters.

This comes off the back of more fundraising via running the Edinburgh marathon with friend Lisa Jenkins, and raising more than £4,000 at her ‘Pink and Blue day’ event at her second home, namely the Plas Hyfryd Hotel in Narberth.

“At the moment about 10 of us Marvels are preparing for Snowdon,” she told me at the afore mentioned venue, shortly after she’d finished an early morning HIIT session of course.

“We did the Cardiff Half Marathon in October, and for a lot of the girls that was the first time they had ever done anything like that – but this will be a different challenge for them.”

Speaking of a different challenge, the Snowdon climb comes just two weeks before one of Marie’s biggest to date – an eight-day bike ride from ‘Tenby to Tenby’, where along with training partners Mark Reed and Neil Jenkins, she will attempt to cover 800 miles around Wales.

To say she’s not one to panic though, would be a monumental understatement.

“I’ll have to get out on the bike this weekend,” she said, with a manner of someone contemplating digging a rusty BMX out the back of the garage.

“I’ve always found it best to go into big events with my eyes wide shut, so to speak, and that way I don’t worry or get nervous.”

I wasn’t taken aback by this, mainly because Marie’s has already openly admitted to me before she has some screws loose, and many more missing.

But of course, there is a serious undertone to all of what she does, and it was then our conversation turned serious.

Type 1 diabetes is a complex and serious condition, something Marie knows only too well having adapted her life, and of course Marley’s, to ensure her youngest can live actively and healthily.

Is her fundraising, alongside the work of others and, of course, scientific research, helping in any way?

Mercifully, it seems so.

“Marley can now wear a sensor which tests his blood every five minutes,” she explained.

“That then sends information to his I-pod and when he’s in a Wi-Fi zone, that info comes through to me.

“So even though I’m not there I can then contact his teacher or whoever it may be to tell them he needs more insulin.”

I’m one of those to boringly lament modern day children being competent with the internet or technology before they even reach secondary school. I think in this case, I can make a justified exception.

And while it’s great to hear things progressing for any individual with the condition, Marie’s belief that a cure can be found still burns brightly.

“I genuinely believe there is one out there and won’t give up on that. There has to be.”

In the meantime she’ll continue to push her body, and indeed her life balance, to the limit - with a ‘Three Peaks’ challenge provisionally set for August, along with her ongoing mission to walk around the whole 870-mile coastal path in Wales. She’s currently a mere 416 miles in.

“I have the London Marathon in April and although I’m not currently registered for Ironman Wales in September, I’m not ruling it out just yet.”

To be honest, I don’t think Marie rules anything out.

And for as long as she continues to fearlessly raise the charitable funds she does, nor should she.

Screws loose or not.
