“This is the first time a walk has been organised in the Portrush/Coleraine area and we are hoping for great support. It will be a lovely family day out and it is a good way for people to meet other families in the area who have been affected by diabetes. Diabetes UK depends on events such as this to provide vital funds for research, information, care and support for those affected by diabetes. I would like to thank all those who have registered and hope we get some lovely sunny weather to enjoy!”

Latest figures indicate 2450 people in the Coleraine Borough Council area are diagnosed with diabetes.

To register for the walk and to receive a sponsorship form, please contact Hilary Ramage on 078 6492 8260 or email [email protected] or Heather Martin on 077 2989 2309.
