Thousands Walk to Help Fight Against Diabetes in Dubai

While you were in bed this morning, thousands in Dubai took on the day in a very different way. They walked. 3.8 kilometers to be specific. But why? Why would someone get out of their bed in the early hours of the morning? Well, to raise awareness about diabetes, of course.

The walkers’ main goal was to promote the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. And for those who couldn’t run, the venue offered several complimentary fun-filled activities, such as Zumba and yoga fitness sessions.

WE SAID THIS: Diabetes is currently a common condition that people in the UAE have battling for quite a while, and the alarming rates of the disease has led to the establishment of awareness campaigns that encourage people to take better control of their lives.
