Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="p1">&nbsp;</p> <p class="p1">300 miles cycling spread over 4 days, starting in London and ending in Paris. So why?</p> <p class="p1">My Dad has suffered from Diabetes for over 20 years. A condition that almost everyone has heard of, Diabetes is unfortunately affecting more and more people. For those, like my Dad, that have had it for many years the effects can be wearing. Recently I've been&nbsp;immensely proud to witness a Father face the challenges of becoming a paraplegic, the constant battle of dialysis and the struggle of frequent hospital care, all with both immense bravery and strong smiles.</p> <p class="p1">I hope that the money I raise can contribute to the work that Diabetes UK undertake, raising awareness, educating people and helping research both care and treatment of Diabetes.</p> <p class="p1">Please donate whatever you can - 80% of the target amount must be reached by March 14 so feel free to rush your response!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
