Go the extra mile and take on Walk for Diabetes UK
We’re inviting people to go the extra mile on Sunday, September 24 and take on the London Bridges Wellness Walk, a sponsored walk through the heart of the capital city.
The 10-mile walk will start in the beautiful Battersea Park and then walkers will criss-cross 12 of London’s most iconic bridges as they notch up the miles heading east.
Passing Big Ben and the London Eye, walkers will see the sights of central London before finishing at Potters Fields Park in the shadow of Tower Bridge.
The route is step-free and accessible for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs.
There is also a shorter five-mile option.
Diabetes UK supports people who are living with diabetes – a serious condition which, if left undiagnosed or not managed safely, can lead to devastating long-term complications, including blindness, heart disease and stroke.
London Bridges is a family day out for a good cause and everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
Registration is now open and costs £10 per person and there is no minimum sponsorship.
Join us in a walk towards a happier and healthier future.
