Since 2020, I've got back into cycling and this year, I wanted to do a distance ride to raise money for charity, but I didn't know which one - then that choice suddenly became very easy

Shortly before his first birthday, my youngest son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It's very rare for children to be diagnosed so young, and my wife and I had to learn a lot about the condition in a short time, with even more sleepless nights than you might expect from a baby!

However, because of the research and advocacy of Breakthrough T1D, it's been simpler than it could have been. Innovations like continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps mean we can monitor bloody glucose levels without regular fingerprick testing and we rarely have to give insulin injections

I want to support Breakthrough T1D for what they've done and in the hope that they will continue to develop and discover new ways to manage the condition
