Chairmans Sponsored Cycle Ride
The Chairman of the Isle of Wight Heart Care Club has promised to do a Sponsored Cycle Ride on September 12th 2010.
Gary Smith (The Chairman) has called the ride “There and Back again” or Esat Cowes To West Cowes to see how far it is. Gary will set off from East Cowes chain ferry at 07.30 and will cycle around the Island to the West Cowes chain ferry terminal. Then turn around and repat the ride in the opposite direction.
You can sponsor Gary by sending any cheques to the Treasurer Colin Tinson or signing up at any of the many Cardiac Rehab classes each week. Gary hopes to raise over £1,000.
Another way to support the ride is to guess how long the whole ride will take and how many miles Gary will cover on the day. Entries cost £1.00 ago and there will be a prize for the person who gets closest.

Statins and Diabetes
Statins ‘raise your chance of diabetes’… but the benefits still outweigh risks, say doctors.
Patients taking statins face an increased risk of developing diabetes, warn researchers.
The first review into a suspected link with cholesterol-lowering drugs shows a nine per cent rise in the chance of acquiring one form of the disease.
