3 peaks in 3 days · 1 April 2010

Diabetes UK is the charity leading the fight against the UK's devastating and fastest growing health crisis, working to create a world where diabetes can do no harm. It’s a fight that involves all of us – sharing knowledge and taking diabetes on together. Join us.

Story

A group of us from the University of Kent (and London - Pang!) are donning our walking boots for 3 days of climbing the UKs highest peaks including Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, finishing up in Cardiff for a well earned beer!

As part of this challenge we will be raising money for Diabetes UK since Carolines Grandma suffers from type 2 Diabetes. She was forced to retire early from a lifelong nursing career and is gradually losing her sight due to Diabetes complications. Her dreams of a happy retirement are yet to be realised.

However, this disease affects old and young alike and there has been an alarming rise in childhood diabetes in recent years. In the UK alone there are 2.3 million sufferers and even more undiagnosed. Despite all the medical research going on in this field, there is yet to be a cure. More needs to be done to help people suffering with this!

Please help us reach our target of £500.

Even if you can only afford to donate a £1, it will still make a difference people!

So please dig deep and donate now!!! THANKYOU!!
