I’m cycling 100km and raising money to fund medical research to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

Approximately 400,000 people in the UK live with type 1 diabetes (I am one of them), 29,000 of these are children. Type 1 diabetes is an indiscriminate auto-immune condition whereby the body attacks the insulin producing cells in our pancreas, a hormone vital for survival. People who live with type 1 diabetes face a rigorous daily routine of finger prick blood glucose checks and injections just to stay alive.JDRF are the type 1 diabetes charity and we are committed to funding medical research to find a cure for this condition.Cycle for a Cure in partnership with Ford is a large cycling event for all the family, we thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you in May 2020.
