I’m thrilled to share the incredible success of the 11th Annual Diabetes Charity Fun Walk held in Mt Martha, where over 200 participants came together under beautiful sunshine for a cause that impacts so many. It was truly heartwarming to witness the support from our community and to see the generosity shine through in every detail of the day. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the 30+ volunteers, including those from Padua College and Balcombe Grammar School, who dedicated their time and energy. Their commitment, along with the support from local businesses, made this event not only memorable but impactful. This year, Be Fit Food were honored to partner with Diabetes Victoria with all funds raised going towards critical diabetes research, education, prevention, management, and, ultimately, the search for a cure for both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Attendees also had access to invaluable health services, including diabetes risk assessments and spin-to-win games from The team Diabetes Victoria and onsite heart checks with cardiologists and health professionals from Advara HeartCare who provided ECGs, blood pressure, and heart rate checks at no cost. Thanks to our generous sponsors and community, we raised over $6,000. A special shoutout to our major sponsors: Belle Property Advara HeartCare and Mornington Mazda and a big thank you to Mount Martha Village Clinic for supporting with billboard space out the front of their prominently positioned clinics too. We couldn’t have achieved this without the kindness and generosity of everyone involved, including additional supporters: Swisse Wellness (part of H&H Group) Panda Blairgowrie , Peninsula Hot Springs Vively Health , Clarity Dental Care, Recovery Lab Australia Mornington, KX Pilates Mornington, The Sports Injury Clinic, Natural Raw C , Bodbase STRONG Pilates Mornington, Salon Envy Mornington, Chemist Warehouse Mornington, , The Corner Counter Mornington, and many others who contributed their time, products, and goodwill. Thank you for making this event such a success! #Diabetes #DiabetesVictoria #BeFitFood
