Sarah, Helen, Maggie, and Amanda are a group of admin staff, diabetes nurses,dietitians ...AND Laura who is a real person living with type 1 diabetes therefore knows first hand what it's like to deal with daily blood sugar dilemmas!  (In case you were wondering diabetes doesn't normally make you glow in the dark, Laura must have had Ready Brek!)  We decided we're crazy enough to give this challenge a go because we want to raise lots of money for our local diabetes service :)  We'd like to buy specialist equipment like continuous blood glucose monitors to help people manage their diabetes better. 

 It's now less than 3 weeks until we set off from the London Eye to cycle 187 miles over 4 days to reach the Eiffel Tower!  We started our training a few months ago juggling work, and family to put in quite a few hours each week to get ourselves fitter for this challenge...and it's working, although we're a bit saddle sore! 

We'd love it if you are able to give to the Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust charity called brighterway, so more people can have improved local diabetes services. Many thanks in advance for your generosity.
