(By May Zhao) Diabetes UK’s “Wellness Walk” will take place in London on Sunday, 28th September at 10 a.m., offering five-mile and ten-mile routes along the River Thames and several iconic bridges. The ten-mile route starts at Battersea Park and crosses 11 bridges, while the five-mile route starts at Potters Fields Park and crosses four bridges. Both routes finish at Tower Bridge and return to Potters Fields Park, with medals and an activity area awaiting participants at the finish line.
The event is suitable for all fitness levels, with rest stops along the way and wheelchair-accessible routes. Participants can join individually or as part of a team, making it ideal for families, friends, and colleagues.
Currently, around 4.6 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with diabetes, with several million more living with prediabetes or undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. Funds raised from the event will support research projects and help people living with diabetes lead better lives.
