My name is Josh Malin and I would like to start by telling you what makes me different and why I stand out from other athletes in the UK.

At the age of 4 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I was told that I would never be able to follow a career in motorsport and that I should limit my aspirations due to my condition. Even at that young age I knew my choice was clear, I would not stand by and be restricted by my condition, I would fight and become the athlete I knew I could be.
