Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page,
I have organized a Charity fundraising fitness event on the 10th September to promote health, fitness and wellbeing also to raise awareness for the Diabetes Trust UK.
So the details of the event are as follows it will be £5 entry there will be Yoga, Zumba, Bootcamp, nutritional advice and a speaker from the diabetes trust this will all be included in the entry fee, and many more stools and activities for a fun family day out in hope in raising £3000 for the Diabetes Trust UK.
On July 19th 2015 I lost my best friends mum Androulla, to type 2 Diabetes. We grow up together our mums were best friends, we have known each other for over 40 years.
Androulla struggled for 20 years with this condition, she discovered it when her eyesight started deteriorating and needed to remove her cataract from both eyes, she had constant blood and urine checks to check her sugar levels. She had issues with her teeth, her kidneys were leaking and she had to take medication. She had blood circulation issues. Basically diabetes affected a multitude of organs in her body. Her mother also suffered with diabetes. In the end diabetes seemed to eat away at her, so much that she passed away from multiple organ failure.
Total devastation, heartbreaking, life changing are all the words we can use to describe what we're going through but they will never truly describe the feeling of losing my beautiful friend Androulla.
This is why I decided to work with diabetes UK raising awareness and fundraising as a focus to get people moving, exercising, eating healthy and to live healthy lifestyle, to ensure other people do not suffer like Androulla did.
My goal is to help other people and raise awareness.
See you all at the fitness event to celebrate Androulla's life, your support means so much to me
Love
