At the end of July I will be cycling from Bristol to Bruges in Belgium. The 350 mile trip will take me 5 days to complete. I have done some long rides before but this will be the longest both in distance and number of days cycled.

I have chosen to fundraise for Diabetes UK. I'm a type 1 diabetic myself and so know the valuable service that Diabetes UK provides for the many type 1 and type 2 diabetics in the UK.

Diabetes UK provides a wealth of information online to help diabetics control their condition. They also provide local support groups as well as online groups and forums. Added to this they fund many research projects aimed at providing improved treatments for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics helping to make managing the condition easier. They also fund research projects into possible cures for diabetes.

Please make a donation to Diabetes UK to help them continue the much needed support and research they provide for the many people who have to deal with managing diabetes on a daily basis.
