I work 2 days a week for the NHS. I work in the Diabetic Foot Clinic at the local hospital.  I see first hand some of the devastating effects that this disease has on patients and their families. Before I worked at the clinic I didn't realise just how serious this disease is.  The fact that it is responsible for 24,000 EXCESS deaths;  more deaths occur among people with diabetes than would be expected to occur if their mortality risk was the same as that of the general population.

I want to raise money by spin cycling 84 miles before my 84th birthday which is on May 25th this year ( 2020). I am training now and I intend to start this spin on Saturday May 23rd.  

Diabetes is the most devastating and fastest growing disease, affecting more people than any other serious health condition in the world.  Diabetes can seriously affect the sufferer's nervous system, eyes, teeth, heart, kidneys and feet!!
There is currently no known cure for any type of diabetes.
Donations to Diabetes UK help to fund critical research and with the right treatment, knowledge and support people living with diabetes can lead a long, full and healthy life.
