The Get Even with Diabetes Run has been an integral part of the Great Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity for many years. The campaign aims to promote a healthy, active lifestyle while raising awareness of diabetes as a key public health issue. The run is entirely charitable, meaning that all proceeds from the race packs go towards the purchase of insulin pumps for pregnant women.
As part of the 33rd GOCC Finale, the run will take place on the following dates:
The idea behind our charitable run is to raise money to buy personal insulin pumps for pregnant women with diabetes. To date, with the money raised from the run we have purchased and donated 348 personal insulin pumps. This sporting event has a long-running tradition – for 19 years, runners came together to show their support to women battling diabetes.
We ran for the eighteenth time! The Get Even with Diabetes Run has accompanied the Grand Finale events for many years. The event aims to promote a healthy and active lifestyle and draw attention to the global challenge of diabetes.
