JDRF is a charity very close to my heart. In 2012, my wonderful daughter Scarlett was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Until someone finds a cure, she will test her blood sugar levels multiple times and give at least 4 insulin injections every day for the rest of her life.

I also support a child with Type 1 through my job at a local primary school.

At the end of this summer, I will be riding solo from Land's End to John O'Groats. Don't get me wrong, your donations won't alleviate my suffering as I wend my way through Britain's stunning countryside because I'll be enjoying every minute of it.

But every penny will go towards finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.
