Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you know, the family genes have won the battle, and I was diagnosed (by accident - another story!) with Type 2 diabetes in September 2023.

Type 2 diabetes is already one of the most common long term health conditions and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the UK is growing year on year.

The cost of treating a growing number of people with type 2 diabetes, and the health complications associated with the condition, is estimated to cost the NHS around £12 billion a year on direct and indirect care.

So despite common sense telling me otherwise, I am doing my bit by once again taking part in 2024’s Ride London. If you are able to support my efforts by donating some pennies to Diabetes UK, I would be truly thankful.
