adidas Challenge for Women 2008
Sunday 7th September 2008
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.
Our team will be led by Sarah Caltieri: Sarah who is now 28, 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 led to her losing control of her blood glucose levels and, aged 23, she began to lose her sight.
If you would like to join the JDRF Team in 2008, on-line entries are now open, visit http://womenschallenge.co.uk/onlinentry/ to find out more.
