My wife was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2009 and I have seen first hand the effects that this lifelong condition presents. From carb counting to foot caring, the terror of low blood sugar to the frustration of high blood sugar, and the constant checking - diabetes has become a permanent part of our lives. 

I'm taking part in RideLondon on 31 July 2016, cycling 100 miles around London and Surrey, as part of Team Diabetes UK. 

Please support me to raise money to help those with diabetes and to hopefully find a cure for this lifelong condition.
