Walk for diabetes

Parras, thanked those receiving awards for their unwavering support and highlighted the need to continue working towards the inclusivity for people with Down Syndrome.

Parras also spoke about Asalsido’s current goals including their current project to build a four ­ floor sheltered accommodation building for 60 people with Down Syndrome “can live independently, and to fly towards their own destiny.”

Asalsido continued their celebrations on World Down Syndrome Day on Tuesday, March 21 with a live cookery workshop.

The workshop saw members of staff at the organisation come together with people with Down Syndrome who Asalsido supports for an afternoon of culinary fun, creating a variety of delicious dishes, using fresh ingredients.

ON May 7, Mojacar resident Una Martin will be organising the 777 Walk challenge in support of JDRF, the world’s leading type 1 diabetes non lucrative research charity dedicated entirely to curing, treating and preventing type 1 diabetes.

Both her granddaughter and daughter were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within years of each other and have been so well supported by JDRF, and Una Martin is taking time to support them in return with her fundraising on JustGiving.

JDRF know that the cure is out there and together they will find it.

The walk will start at Boracay Restaurant in Garrucha at 10am.

Blue is the colour that represents the charity so it would be nice if the participants could wear blue.
