We are fighting to make a world where diabetes does no harm

Story

I'm jumping on Saturday 26th July - so please continue to donate!!!

For the love & on behalf of of Tesco's Group Customer Data team & for the amazing Diabetes UK, I'm jumping out of plane at 10,000 feet...yes I'm crazy but the challenge I have for you is to please donate your money ASAP so we can use it as part of our £1000 target that we need to raise as a team, by Friday 23rd May.  You can still donate after this date but would be fantastic if we can raise the roof on our target.

By raising funds for Diabetes UK , Tesco's charity of the year, money will be invested in:

  • Life changing support for a million people with diabetes so they feel less scared & isolated by their condition
  • Preventing 1000s of future cases of Type 2 diabetes, so fewer families are affected by the devastating effects of this condition
  • Research into a vaccine that could stop the development of Type 1 diabetes in kids

Please see the link for more info - http://www.diabetes.org.uk/ 

Tesco raised £10 million last year for Diabetes UK  - let's together smash this target.  Below is a link to a video to show how the £10m raised last year has & will help.

As most of you know, according to the Dept of Health's policy info, published in March 2013, https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/reducing-obesity-and-improving-diet

In England:

  • 61.9% of adults
  • 28% of children aged between 2 and 15

are overweight or obese and therefore at a much higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.  More info can be found here http://www.diabetes.org.uk/About_us/News_Landing_Page/Diabetes-and-obesity-rates-soar/

So dig deep and please donate to this really worthwhile charity.

Thanks very much,

Lauren & Tesco's Group Customer Data team
