Stepping Out For IDDT Appeal

Stepping Out For IDDT Appeal

We are grateful to our dedicated runners and supporters who work hard to raise awareness of IDDT and raise funds through sponsorship. This helps thousands of people to receive the support and information they need to make living with diabetes a little easier.

The information IDDT provides has been described as ‘invaluable, easy to understand and life saving’. We want as many people as possible to receive this information.

YOU can help too without having to run a marathon! Everyone can help by stepping out to help someone with diabetes.

Every Step You Take
With our free T-shirt* every step you take could help someone with diabetes. If you are going for a run or simply walking to the shops or to school you can wear our T-shirts or an IDDT sticker to show people how to get in touch with IDDT.

To help you on your way, we will also give you a free IDDT pedometer* which will show exactly how many steps you have taken. Each month you can e-mail IDDT at bev@iddtinternational.org and let us know how many steps you have taken to help people with diabetes. Each month the steps will be added to and posted on IDDT’s Home Page so we can all see how well we are doing.

The response to our Stepping Out For IDDT Appeal during 2010 was fantastic. The year’s winner was Rita East [and her dog Lily]. The Ross family who took 62,000 steps on the way to school also managed to raise £100 in the process. Bill and Stella Sass and Wilbert continue to offer huge support to Stepping Out and to raising awareness of the needs of children and adults with diabetes. So well done and thank you to Bill and Stella!

Thank you to everyone for helping to raise awareness of diabetes and the needs of adults and children who have to live with it.
