Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Carl became poorly last November whilst away, he was diagnosed in December with T2 with increased risk of losing limbs. Now, Carl likes his limbs!! So didnt need telling twice to loose weight and get fit!! July he had lost 3 stone and T2 was reversed through diet & moving more. Hes still on the radar, but without the knowledge it would of been devastating. Now at work, Carl's colleagues call him

"Dai-The-Betes" (Carl is Welsh)!!

Chris has a family history of diabetes and is supporting this event with his neighbour!! A great gentleman!

Cycling door to door from North Shropshire to Carls parents in deep south Wales!

Currently training for this event is tough, demanding, especially for 2 x 52 year olds!! But hopefully everyone reading this will share and donate. x
