Transfer float using BLE

I am following the turtorial in the Github and build a project which add a custom service. The project can read, write and notify between the board and mobile nRF connect application. But it can only transmit one byte in heximal. How can I change it  to transfer float number?

This the turtorial website: https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nRF52-Bluetooth-Course

This is the code which transfer the data. I have tried to change the type of custom_value to float, but there is no effect. 

uint32_t ble_cus_custom_value_update(ble_cus_t * p_cus, uint8_t custom_value)
{
    NRF_LOG_INFO("In ble_cus_custom_value_update. \r\n"); 
    if (p_cus == NULL)
    {
        return NRF_ERROR_NULL;
    }

    uint32_t err_code = NRF_SUCCESS;
    ble_gatts_value_t gatts_value;

    // Initialize value struct.
    memset(&gatts_value, 0, sizeof(gatts_value));

    gatts_value.len     = sizeof(uint8_t);
    gatts_value.offset  = 0;
    gatts_value.p_value = &custom_value;

    // Update database.
    err_code = sd_ble_gatts_value_set(p_cus->conn_handle,
                                      p_cus->custom_value_handles.value_handle,
                                      &gatts_value);
    if (err_code != NRF_SUCCESS)
    {
        return err_code;
    }

    // Send value if connected and notifying.
    if ((p_cus->conn_handle != BLE_CONN_HANDLE_INVALID)) 
    {
        ble_gatts_hvx_params_t hvx_params;

        memset(&hvx_params, 0, sizeof(hvx_params));

        hvx_params.handle = p_cus->custom_value_handles.value_handle;
        hvx_params.type   = BLE_GATT_HVX_NOTIFICATION;
        hvx_params.offset = gatts_value.offset;
        hvx_params.p_len  = &gatts_value.len;
        hvx_params.p_data = gatts_value.p_value;

        err_code = sd_ble_gatts_hvx(p_cus->conn_handle, &hvx_params);
    }
    else
    {
        err_code = NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE;
    }


    return err_code;
}
