I upload the thread to see if we dare to participate, I particularly move to Madrid to make the short race, because of the workouts I have, I cannot do the long one.
Do not stop participating, it is true that I travel because I am going to see other people too, but surely in your cities there is also something for this day.
Particularly I would like this not to be done only once but good ...
We have to go out to make ourselves see, show our needs and know what we exist, our life is not like the others, our brains work 24 hours a day 365 days a year, thanks a little to technology and continuous metersOf glucose with alarms we can rest a little more but not everyone can access them.
Public health must be aware that we need MCG with alarms for all.Go out and look at us.

Last year I enrolled with my boy but in the end we couldn't go, I will see if this year we can.

I climb the thread to see if we encourage all of us who can and go.It is very important that we go out and see ourselves.

I will be there.It must also be said that part of the money that is usually used to finance camps to children with diabetes.
