Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The reason for me doing a sponsored motorbike ride for diabetes came about because I am a diabetic myself. Last year I was very ill and had to be rushed into hospital to prevent major organ failure due to my diabetes not being controlled. Thankfully I am now fully fit with my diabetes under control.
I have decided to do the ride to the Nordkapp in Norway, the most northern tip of Europe to raise much needed funds for diabetes Uk, hence the name !
I also wish to raise the profile of the charity, especially with the increased knowldege and spotlight on what we eat and the effects on our health of a poor diet and the danger of hidden sugar in almost everything we eat.
The ride is planned for August, the exact dates to be fixed, so as to avoid the tourist season and midges, but before the bad weather sets in. I plan to camp along the way and have almost secured funding for my petrol costs so every penny raised will go the the charity.
No limit has been set on the amount, just as much as we can, so please dig deep and give genorously and lets see how much we can raise together.
