Last year a group of colleagues from Tesco Property cycled from Welwyn Garden City to Lands End to raise money for charity in memory of two friends and colleagues.
This year, we plan to rise to last years challenge and cycle from Welwyn Garden City to Edinburgh, a route of over 400 miles in just 4 days.
A group of over 20 colleagues will be taking part in the ride , this year raising money for Tesco Charity of the Year - Diabetes UK.
Diabetes is a common life-long health condition. There are 3 million people diagnosed with diabetes in the UK and an estimated 850,000 people who have the condition but don’t know it.
Diabetes UK are the UK's leading diabetes charity. They care for, connect with and campaign on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes, reaching people with diabetes in local communities across the UK.
Working with an army of 5,000 volunteers and 332 voluntary groups they raise awareness and funds. They also campaign for change and provide support.
They are experts in the field of diabetes care, treatment and research. They use expertise to compile the evidence base for policies that help all of those affected by diabetes and inform campaigns for better services.
They influence governments, opinion formers, healthcare professionals and health services to ensure that people with diabetes get the standards of care they deserve and that the wider public is aware of how to reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
