Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our fundraising page.
Led by the founder of 360 Total Fitness, Rich Blackburn, we are a team of men and women based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, who would like to raise money for Diabetes UK.
Diabetes is a condition that has touched the life of Rich. Sadly, the condition was a major factor resulting in the death of his father. With that in mind and with cases of diabetes reaching almost epidemic proportions Rich has chosen Diabetes UK as the charity we as a team will be supporting throughout 2014.
We are absolutely excited about the challenges we are undertaking throughout 2014 - several obstacle events, as well as doing a 54 mile hike (in less than 24 hours) in Scotland.
Training is now well underway and every Sunday morning we push ourselves to the limit, and in all weathers.
Our team spans a wide range of ages and levels of fitness. What unites us is a determination to complete the challenges together and raise as much money for Diabetes UK as possible.
Diabetes UK is the leading UK charity that cares for, connects with, and campaigns on behalf of people affected by and at risk of diabetes:-
- Helping people manage their diabetes effectively by providing information, advice and support;
- Campaigning with people with diabetes and with healthcare professionals to improve the quality of care across the UK’s health services;
- Funding pioneering research into care, cure and prevention for all types of diabetes;
- Campaigning to stem the rising tide of diabetes;
Al All of this and more is only made possible through donations and by people supporting Diabetes UK. We at 360 Total Fitness are all proud to support Diabetes UK's vital work.
