Jason Chipchase (Chadlington Brewery and The Tite Inn) and Andrew Hutchings will be cycling from Spain to France and up Mont Ventoux shortly, to raise money for Diabetes UK.
It’s 580 km in 5 days with an overall climb of 3,174m, so that’ll be quite an achievement.
Jason is doing the ride to support the charity that helped his son George, who went blind overnight as a result of diabetes, but received critical care and a swift diagnosis followed by eye surgery. Today George has 20:20 vision, plays football and cricket and lives a normal life.
Diabetes UK leads the way in funding research and clinical developments with the vision of a world where diabetes can do no harm. They need fundraising to support their work and amazing work is taking place, currently focussing on finding a cure for type 1. Jason wants to help that work, so together with Andrew Hutchings, he will be riding a bike from Spain to France then up an enormous mountain (Mont Ventoux) to raise funds for Diabetes UK.
They are looking to raise £2,500 and your support will help them reach that target. All supporters will get a big shout out during the ride to say thank you.
