My daughter Freya was diagnosed in October 2014 with Type 1 Diabetes which has greatly affected us all as a family but for which she has coped incredibly well. To raise money for Diabetes UK, I  have tried to seek out a number of cycling events for 2015 that are often described as the "toughest" or "longest" in the hope that people will get behind me and raise money for this great, personal cause, to include Newcastle to London, 300 miles in 24 hours, the "Hell of the North" Paris-Roubaix, The 180 mile, 5500m of climbing Dragon Devil and 200 mile Round Norfolk Epic.
