Keedle Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Have you all seen the II magazine ? Pity Malcom wasnt at the start of walk he would have got photos of all the walkers setting off . Not to worry its a good spread . Saturday 14th November is National Diabetes day . We are having a Jumble sale in Freefield centre on the day . If anyone has a few hours to help out you would be most welcome . Also we are looking for jumble to sell . Let me know if you can assist .

shetlandpeat Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Are you doing a raffle? I could take part in that, don't think I can make it for then. Oh. Did anyone write a bit for the Shetlopedia Charities section? I could do it, I will have to add it to a list, been doing a book report for 9 months now I will ave to get on with it...

Marooned in Maywick Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Is it just me who finds the thread title slightly ambiguous? Someone coming new to the topic could think they're about to read a thread on diabetes being curable by walking when what it's really about is a walk to raise money for research into diabetes cures. Maybe that extra hour has made me Mr Pedantic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbird2 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 as a parent of a young child with diabeties, i think YES that extra hour has made you mr pedantic!! the thread was started and name came from the JDRF, every year they hold walks throughout the uk and they came up with the name, its on the websites, sponser forms etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 In any case, the thread has in fact moved on from just the walk and now covers other fundraising initiatives for the organisation. Renaming it to reflect this wider scope would seem appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keedle Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I dont think anyone is naive enough to think walking cures Diabetes . It does help to keep blood / sugar levels right . We are a group of people all of us has family or friends with tihs cronic life threatning disease . We are trying to raise awareness and money to find a cure . You can find out more at JDRF or Diabetes uk . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggywiggie Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 you can move this post to another thread if need be but is there anything being done for children in need that anyone is aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keedle Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Saturday 14th November is World Diabetes Day . We are holding a Fund Raiser at Freefield Centre 10am till 2pm . Hope to see you all there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
