A motorcyclist from Middlewich will be raising money for Diabetes UK by riding to all four corners of Britain.

Graham Munt from Middlewich will join Geoff Owens from Waverton near Chester to take on the 2,500 mile trek which will wind its way around the twistiest of motorcycling roads of Britain. Aptly named the Compass Ride, Geoff explained the story: “My youngest son was suddenly diagnosed with diabetes in 2012 and it really was shock for our family. Diabetes UK are determined through their research to support my son and the many other teenagers in the UK in managing this life changing condition so the least I can do is to ride over 80 hours on a motorcycle in the rain, wind, hail and snow if it means raising awareness and money to aid this valuable cause”.

Geoff & Graham set off on Friday, April 11 and you can support them at: www.justgiving.com/compassride and follow the ride at #compassride
