More than 500 people joined a walkathon to raise funds and awareness about diabetes.
They walked either 4km or 1.5km along the Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Causeway walkway, under the slogan ‘Walk a Mile Gain a Healthy Smile’. The event was organised by Batelco’s hearts and minds committee in collaboration with the Bahrain Diabetics Association. Doctors and nurses from various public and private hospitals also donated their free time to check participants’ blood sugar, blood pressure, height and weight at the event.
