Cyclist Ben Arnett has pushed himself to the limit for the charity challenge of a lifetime.

Supported by his girlfriend Sophie Bright, Ben set himself a target of covering around 500 miles in five days to raise money for Diabetes UK.

He wholeheartedly supports the charity, as he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 13. Ben said: “I’m not quite sure what I was thinking when I came up with this idea but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Having been type one diabetic for around half of my life and not really challenged myself to any huge extent in my 26 years on this planet, I thought I’d do something that should leave me a broken person by the end – all for a good cause.

Well done Ben! 🙂 My niece has just cycled from Bristol to Bradford in 4 days to raise money for MIND 🙂
 
Well done to him (and your niece Northie). 🙂 I'm assuming the running type shorts are just for the photos or he's got padded undershorts on. I wouldn't fancy doing 500 miles in just those! 😱
 
Great to hear good positive news. Big pat on the back for both cyclists, massive achievement and two worthy charities
Benefit also.
