The Visiting Angels Central Surrey team recently embarked on a remarkable journey by participating in Diabetes UK’s One Million Step Challenge. Our mission: is to raise funds for diabetes research and make a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by this prevalent condition. Inspired by our client, who has a son living with diabetes, and one of our own team members facing the same challenge, the team eagerly stepped up to the plate.
A Growing Concern: Diabetes in the UK
Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting millions worldwide; the United Kingdom is no exception. With a staggering 4.9 million people in the UK living with diabetes, the need for support, research, and awareness has never been more critical. The Visiting Angels Central Surrey team recognized the urgency of the situation and decided to take proactive steps to contribute to the cause.
Walking the Talk: Angels March Towards a Million Steps
Incredibly, within just two months, the Angels achieved the monumental milestone of completing 1,000,000 steps. The achievement was a testament to our physical stamina and our shared dedication to the cause. The sense of accomplishment was palpable, but they weren’t content to stop there. We have set our sights on an even loftier goal—1.7 million steps. This ambitious target exemplified our unwavering determination to make a substantial difference in the fight against diabetes.
A Heartfelt Thank You
Today, the team proudly announces that we have raised £100 for the cause. Every pound contributes to the ongoing battle against diabetes and represents a tangible step towards a healthier future for those living with the condition. The Visiting Angels team extends our heartfelt gratitude to all the generous donors and supporters who made this achievement possible.
