Why not get involved with the training blogs or forums for extra motivation?  Here you will find lots of help, advice and support from fellow runners all with the same aim.

Remember we can help promote your event by providing posters, balloons and fundraising materials.

Diabetes facts and stats

Throughout the weeks we will provide you with some statistics and information about diabetes to help your fundraising message have a greater impact

This week:  Diabetes is the most common cause of lower limb amputation.

Gift Aid

On the sponsorship forms and on the online donations, your supporters will be asked if they would like to Gift Aid their donation. Please ensure that as many people as possible tick the Gift Aid box plus give their full name and address (postcodes are essential) as it allows us to claim an extra 25p for every pound raised. It doesn’t cost your supporters any extra to Gift Aid their donation.
