Nine-year-old Millie Ottaway takes on coast-to-coast cycle challenge for Diabetes UK

[Northerner]

A YOUNG girl aims to become one of the youngest to complete the Coast-to-Coast cycle ride.

Nine-year-old Millie Ottaway, from Chester-le-Street, hopes to complete the 135 miles from Workington to Tynemouth in three days.

With her dad Terry Ottaway, she hoped to raise money for Diabetes UK after her cousin was diagnosed with Type One diabetes.

Good for her. I hope she manages it. It's not just the money, of course, but raising awareness as well.🙂

Good luck Millie and Terry. I wonder if the cousin with type 1 diabetes is old enough to cycle the Coast to Coast?
