He genuinely has a smile that can light up the room.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He is an inspiration to many of us and although he is only 2 years old his bravery is already starting to show. Joseph has been diagnosed with a very rare genetic disorder called Mucolipidosis II. Devastatingly, Joseph’s life expectancy is severely limited, his mum, dad and sister; Mel, Rich and Erin have of course had their worlds turned upside down. They do however look to a past without regret, and to an unknown future with positivity and hope, always ensuring Josephs life is jam packed full of love, happiness and new experiences.</span></span></p>

With only 1 in 326,000 babies being diagnosed annually in the UK, ML II is one of the most depleting diseases of the mucopolysaccharide family.</span></span></p>

The cycle ride will take 15 days and starts on April 23rd 2011, its worth bearing in mind that none of the group are accomplished riders, the majority having not been on a bike for some years! <em>9 blokes, 9 bikes, 950 miles – we will do it for Joseph!</em></span></span></p>
