One of the few good things about having diabetes is the peer support network we have. Over the past 2 years T1D London Meetups have grown from strength to strength. The Facebook group is now sitting at a very healthy 400 members. This group is so valuable to so many of the members. It is no longer just a platform for arranging our social get together’s, it has developed into a real community. It is this support we all offer each other that makes me think we can put together a great team to take part in the ➡ Vitality Move event this Summer. Come join us, Jess Ennis-Hill and Trevor Nelson for what promises to be an unforgettable day.
There Is No I In Team
10K may seem a little daunting if you are new to exercise and running. Don’t let this put you off, we will enter the 10K event as a team. The support we all offer each other everyday on the Facebook group is great, now lets all support each other in our first ever charity run as Team T1D London Meetups. I can’t think of a better group to do my first ever 10K run with.
Being safe in the knowledge that if anything goes wrong you are with a group of people who will know what to do, certainly appeals to me! The more we can get running this 10K the better. It really helps to get the message out there that our diabetes is not a barrier to anything in life.
