World Diabetes Day 2018
2018-11-14
On Wednesday the 14th of November we will be celebrating World Diabetes Day and we would love for you to join us!
Each year the Diabetes Ireland helpline services supports thousands of people in their time of need.
We now need €30,000 to ensure the helpline service continues. You can help us to achieve this target in a number of ways:

Make a donation: Call (01) 8428118, send a cheque or postal order to Diabetes Ireland or donate online here
Set up a Facebook Birthday Fundraiser by clicking here
Join the Diabetes Ireland Blue Brigade and organise a fundraiser. You can find lots of ideas here

To pledge your support and get all the help you need, contact Cheyenne at cheyenne.keeley@diabetes.ie
