Time to sign up for diabetes walk in Hillsborough

DIABETES UK Northern Ireland is urging people to put their feet first for diabetes and register now to take part in their local Walk in the Park at Hillsborough Forest on Saturday June 16 at 2pm.

Naomi Brown, National Fundraising Assistant for Diabetes UK Northern Ireland said: “This is just a final reminder so that everyone who wants to take part can get themselves organised.

“It is a lovely family day out and is a good way for people to meet other families in the area who have been affected by diabetes. Diabetes UK depends on events such as this to provide vital funds for research, information, care and support for those affected by diabetes. I would like to thank all those who have registered and hope we get some lovely sunny weather to enjoy.”

The event is one of sixteen walking events taking place across Northern Ireland to raise funds for Diabetes UK Northern Ireland. This is the first time a walk has been organised in this area and the charity is hoping for great support.

The walk is two miles long so the entire family can take part and the route is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs with dogs allowed on leads. Everyone who completes the route will receive a medal. To register for the walk and to receive a sponsorship form, contact Naomi Brown on 9066 6646 or email [email protected].
