World Diabetes Day Walk

(Date of issue: Friday, 12 November 2010)

Carlisle City Council is encouraging local residents to take a stroll next Wednesday (17 November), in support of World Diabetes Day.

Organised by the Carlisle Walking for Health Group, the one-hour walk, will take place at Kingmoor Nature Reserve, starting at 10.15am.

The walk forms part of hundreds of global events planned to mark World Diabetes Day.

By taking part in the World Diabetes walk, everyone has the opportunity to raise awareness about the need for worldwide action for the many disadvantaged and vulnerable people with diabetes. At the same time, it also provides the opportunity to take part in an activity which helps prevent type-2 diabetes and improves general wellbeing.

Anyone interested in taking part in next week’s walk, should contact Carlisle City Council on 01228 817158 or 01228 817106.
