Neil Wheeler
Diagnosed age 43.
Raising money for Diabetes UK was the motivation to continue and keep at it. A lot of people had faith I could do it so I couldn’t let them down.
Neil has type 2 diabetes bought on by lifestyle changes and family links, with both his parents living with it. He started cycling to keep fit and did RideLondon 46 in 2019.
