Massive thank you to everyone who has donated time or money to support L2R
From L2R just being an idea it has snowballed into a community celebration. Everywhere I go I'm asked how my training is going and if I'm ready to start my L2R journey (answer - yes, I've trained hard, I'm ready and hugely excited). Strangers I have met during my training rides have donated to JustGiving or told me about their experiences of living with diabetes, it has been quite emotional at times and hugely uplifting. I couldn't have done this on my own, thank you all for your support.
