RAISING awareness and to end the stigma of one common disease has
prompted a colourful walk/run event.
Mid-West Diabetes Advocacy Group is hosting a walk/run route from the
Strand Hotel, which will be lighting up blue for World Diabetes Day.
This Tuesday, November 14, people can join the event at 7pm, wear blue
in support of the day and sign the pledge to end diabetes stigma.
The walk/run route starts at the corner of Sarsfield Bridge and ends at
Crew Brew.

Green Limerick
A range of businesses and buildings in Limerick will be lighting up in
blue along with the Strand Hotel in support of the event, which marks
the beginning of the walk or run along the three bridges.
The walk and run is ending at Crew Brew, who will also be going blue in
support of the day, and are hosting the Mid-West Diabetes World
Diabetes Day after party!
There is no registration, and people can meet at either point. The
Mid-West Diabetes Advocacy Group’s World Diabetes Day event is one of
161 registered events with the International Diabetes Federation in 62
countries marking the day of awareness.
World Diabetes Day (WDD) was created in 1991 and became an official
United Nations Day in 2006. It is marked every year on November 14, the
birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin along with
Charles Best in 1922.
