This is Joe and me.  And those handlebars are attached to a bike I have to pedal all the way to Brussels via Amsterdam and Harwich.  It's a three day trek beginning Sept 24th in a bid to raise £10,000 for children like Joe who live with type 1  diabetes. Recently Joe asked:  "When I'm big, will I still have diabetes?" "Hm, maybe," I said.  "When I'm 100 will I still have diabetes?"  With your help, within the next ten years or so, I'll be able to say, "They have found a cure!" That will be the best day of our lives. Thank you so much for your support.
