DIABETES UK

FITNESS & WELLBEING EVENT

In September 2016 I hosted my own fitness event in loving memory of my dear friend Androulla who we sadly lost due to Diabetes, it gave me nothing but pleasure for me to put together this one day to celebrate her life and raise awareness. Our local community came together as a family to support this very personal charity. I contacted local businesses and we were able to have face painting, zumba, yoga, bouncy castle, football, bbq, massage, beauty treatments, fresh food, aloe vera stall, candy cart, prize raffle with a variety of donations from well known brands and retail stores. And most importantly the Diabetes UK Reps, who discussed the seriousness of Diabetes and how we can all work towards a healthier lifestyle. I also gave nutritional talks and health tips followed by back to back fitness sessions, it was a great way for people to work out and have fun at the same time.

THANKS TO MANY GENEROUS DONATIONS WE HAVE RAISED A TOTAL OF £1,817!

After the success of the event, Diabetes UK reached out to me and notified me that I had been nominated for the Diabetes UK Inspire Award for Fundraising 2017. I was invited to the Awards Ceremony for Diabetes UK London Volunteer Conference at the ETC Venue on Saturday 25th March 2017 in which I was celebrated in the Top 5 Categories for Fundraising.
