Letter to Editor for Diabetes UK Cymru’s fundraiser

Dear Editor,

The UK Wide Cycle Ride challenge runs throughout April – and it is the perfect opportunity for people in Wales to take their fitness up a gear, while raising money for Diabetes UK Cymru along the way.

Challengers can pick from one of four virtual ‘coast-to-coast’ distances, ranging from 150 miles through to 950 miles for more experienced cyclists, or they can select their own target. You will have the entire month of April to reach your chosen target.

Cycling is a fantastic way to help you get fit and healthy, to have fun and set yourself a goal. And with spring on the way, bringing lighter evenings and warmer weather, this challenge comes at the perfect time for anyone looking to saddle up and give it a try.

You can cycle the miles however you wish over the 30 days of April, by embracing the outdoors or staying at home and using an exercise bike. Or you can do a bit of both.

There is no registration fee and no minimum sponsorship.

So please sign up to the UK Wide Cycle Ride at cycle.diabetes.org.uk and get pedalling to make every mile count. Your support can change lives.

Thank you,

Rachel Burr, National Director Wales, Diabetes UK Cymru
