Diabetes UK works closely with Nova International, the organisers of the BUPA Great North, Manchester and South Runs, to name a few. Recently launched, the Great Activity Revolution, is a national activity campaign aiming to get over 2 million people a year active and engaged in mass participation sporting events by 2012.
