My Dad has lived with Type 1 Diabetes since 1976. In 2018 the long term effects of the disease led to him having a triple heart bypass. 

This was a really stressful time for our family. What seemed particularly unfair is that my Dad’s heart problems were not caused by a poor diet or lack of exercise. His heart was significantly affected by the effects of this currently incurable disease.

My Dad has been incredibly lucky and was able to get back on a bicycle just 4 months after the bypass. I am hoping that by raising money for Diabetes UK we can help them to carry on their vital work in preventing and curing diabetes.

Currently there are 4 million people living with Diabetes in the UK including 3 members of my family.  

Any support you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
