Annual Diabetic Foot Awareness Cycle Ride

The now much-anticipated annual event — the Diabetic Foot Awareness Cycle the Diabetic Foot Amputation Awareness Cycle Ride — is taking place in the New Forest and on the Isle of Wight today and tomorrow (8 and 9^th July). With this ride, Rob Yates, Graham Bowen and their podiatry friends, as well as riders from supporting Industry (Woundchek, Urgo, L&R and Integra) want to raise awareness that the number of diabetes-related amputations (foot or toe) has now rising 176 a week, at a cost of £1.13bn a year — causing great suffering to patients and their families. You can spur the group on by visiting the Facebook page or @DF_Aware_ride. Our own Caroline Phelan will make sure that no one is lagging behind. #DFAware2019
