This is 1 MINUTE that you’ll want to watch🥲!⁣⁣ At @Milano_Sanremo I rode for a young man that’s special to me, Tom. He’s a huge @teamnovonordisk fan & a massive inspiration to me. The video I got back means the world to me. THIS IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO 💙! #changingdiabetes⁣

This is amazing @RosseelMick! I met Bryce in Belgium a few years ago, we spoke cycling, diabetes and dreams. To see him riding and thriving with diabetes is incredible. It’s my dream to provide hope and the power of @teamnovonordisk is out of this world.

Right Team! As #Paris2024 #OlympicGames comes to an end I was thinking ‘Olympic sports’ but change a rule. I’ll go first… Judo 🥋 but you can challenge your opponent at any time/place. There would be Ippon’s all over the Games Village. You name it 😅. What’s yours? Go.👇🏻

Extremely proud of @RCooilphysio. Not only has she followed her dream but she’s setup a fantastic physiotherapy company. An award wouldn’t sum up the work Ruth does and the help she’s given me and others. She’s supported me from the beginning. Beyond grateful. Check her out. ❤️ – at Isle of Man, United Kingdom

It’s not lost on me that I am a ‘Sum’ of multiple parts. I gain as much from our community as I hope that I give. Alongside the diabetes community, this one was for my mum! It’s not been an easy few months for you but I hope that that one made you proud!! (2/3) – at Duszniki-Zdrój, Poland
