Spin to Cure Diabetes is a corporate team challenge in aid of type 1 diabetes research. City workers in Birmingham are being invited to enter a team of five to push their bodies to the limit over eight minute interval sprints on a static bike during their lunch break.

The Birmingham event, is one of many that will take place across Britain this summer. As the challenge event proved extremely successful in both Australia and Canada, JDRF now invite people across the UK to rise to the challenge.

All money raised from the Spin will go towards helping find the cure for type 1 diabetes which currently affects an estimated 350,000 people across the country, including more than 25,000 children.
