Walk together to raise funds for type 1 research
London, we are beyond excited to announce that our long awaited One Walks are back in person for the first time in two years! This is a great opportunity for the type 1 community to get together, have fun and raise awareness.
Join us at the City of London School on Saturday 11 June for a sponsored walk along the river Thames and a great day out for all!
What is One Walk?
Join hundreds of people coming together to change the future for everyone living with type 1 diabetes. One Walk is not just a sponsored walk, it is so much more! Come together for a celebration of the type 1 community and a fun day out for people of all ages and abilities – from the littlest legs to the most brisk power-walkers.
On the day you can:
- Visit our information stand and talk to staff to find out more about type 1
- Keep the kids entertained with things like face painting and other fun activities
- Take in the beautiful scenery and do something active with your Saturday morning
- Meet others who understand what it means to live with, or support a loved one with the condition.
- Earn your very own bespoke wooden One Walk medal
Let’s unite, have fun and raise vital funds for type 1 research.
