Step it up for Diabetes UK

UK is urging people to go the extra mile by signing up for the London Bridges Challenge which will take place on Sunday, September 29.

Starting out in the beautiful Battersea Park, you’ll criss-cross 12 of London’s most iconic bridges. Passing Big Ben and the London Eye, walkers will catch a glimpse of St Paul’s as they cross Millennium Bridge, pass Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and finish the walk in Potter’s Fields by Tower Bridge.

Diabetes UK supports people across London, who are living with diabetes – a serious condition which, left undiagnosed or not managed safely, can lead to devastating long term complications, including blindness, heart disease and stroke

Diabetes UK provides information, care and support for everyone with diabetes – and for their family and friends – so they can manage their condition well.

Our campaigns improve life for people with diabetes while our research develops new treatments, technologies and will, one day, find a cure.

London Bridges is a family occasion and everyone is welcome. Registration is now open at £5 per person although under-18s walk for free.

No minimum sponsorship is required.

On the day, you’ll receive a London Bridge T-shirt, refreshments and a well-deserved finishers’ medal, as well as lots of support and encouragement.

Join us in a walk towards a future where diabetes can do no harm.
