Thank you to the incredible 146 walkers who took part in the Glasgow Kiltwalk for Diabetes UK. It’s hard to believe that it was nearly a month ago and we hope you’re still basking in the glory of your amazing efforts.
Our team had the best two days at Balloch at the finish line. It was amazing to be there to cheer you on and so inspiring to hear some of your incredible stories 💙
The Kiltwalk team will be closing the fundraising window for the Glasgow event at the end of this month. Once they’ve done that, we’ll let you know the total raised. We can’t wait to share it with you!!
In the meantime, here are some photos from the big weekend!
And remember if you feel like taking on another Kiltwalk this year – we’d love to welcome you back to the team 💙 You’ll find all the details above.
Any questions?
Please reach out to Fiona and Richie at events.fundraising@diabetes.org.uk. We love to hear from you - we're here to help.
