I did it! Total riding time was just 27.5hrs. But I stopped a lot. Blood sugar at the end was really good. So, all in all, I'm feeling quite chipper 😂

T1D is especially hard for those in poverty, like Dorm Kok, who is going blind & can't support his 80-year-old father. @JerryGore will cycle the Les 7 Majeures: 360km & 12,000m elevation in 24 hours, alone & unsupported. Support Dorm Kok, click this link: https://t.co/q5PPaSX9fW

It has been a few weeks since we posted, but this week Jerry Gore writes about his approach to living with Type 1 Diabetes and all he has achieved since his diagnosis, aged 40.
This is a fascinating read and he's truly inspirational.
