adidas Women's 5k Challenge 2009
Sunday 6th September 2009
Our team will be led by Sarah Caltieri: Sarah who is now 27, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 7. Although she and her family coped fairly well with her condition, when she was a teenager she developed an eating disorder. This lead to her losing control of her blood glucose levels and, aged 23, she began to lose her sight.
This 5km fun-run for women is a great day out with no age restrictions. You can run, jog or walk around London's picturesque Hyde Park, Birmingham's City Centre or Liverpool's City Centre.
