West Granton Road woman Dianne Vanderster is taking part in a sponsored walk on behalf of Diabetes UK on 17 June and she’s looking for NEN readers to sponsor her.
Dianne, who is 73, has had diabetes for ‘eight or nine’ years and believes that the charity’s ‘Walk for Diabetes’ events are worth supporting, so she’s decided to take part in the Edinburgh and Lothians event which starts from Linlithgow Palace on 17 June.
Although Dianne and husband Jack have lived in West Granton Road for many years, many of her friends and neighbours have moved on and it’s not quite so easy for Dianne to get round the doors to look for sponsors – so she’s asked the NEN to help.
No sooner said than done – if you’d like to support Dianne in her sponsored walk to raise funds for Diabetes UK, contact Scottish organiser Susan Williamson on 0141 245 6380 or email Scotland@diabetes.org.uk
Good luck with the walk, Dianne!
