7x7x7 Challenge x Diabetes

👉Should we settle for the life that people with diabetes live?

I think not.

We should not settle for each blood glucose level marking our mood.
We should not settle for explaining over and over again what hypoglycemia is.
We must not settle for society normalizing our daily efforts as if it were “what we have to do.”

It's time to be nonconformists.To continue saying loud and clear that we need support, understanding and solidarity.That we appreciate new technologies, yes.But we don't want to stay stagnant.We want research to advance until it changes everything.

Therefore, from theDiabetes Cure Research Association (DCRA)and the Guipuzcoan Diabetes Association (AGD) are promoting a challenge that is much more than sport:

🏃‍♂️7x7x7 Challenge x Diabetes

The challenge is to run7 marathons, in 7 days, in 7 cities in the Basque Country.

Seven consecutive days proving that diabetes does not stop us.
Seven cities carrying a clear message: diabetes hurts, weighs and is tiring... but we don't give up.
Seven opportunities to tell society that we need their involvement.

The challenge is led by the athleteAna Isabel Pineda, but this is not just one person's challenge.It is the challenge of an entire community.

💪Why do we do it?

Because we still need more research.
Because we still need more social awareness.
Because we still need more real support.

This challenge has a double objective:

1. Make diabetes visiblebefore society.
2. Raise funds for scientific researchthat brings us closer to a better quality of life.

How can you participate?

You don't have to run 7 marathons to be part of the change:

• Run with us in some of the stages.
• Buy a solidarity bib.
• Donate kilometers.
• Share the challenge and help us amplify the message.

Every gesture adds up.Every kilometer counts.Every donation brings us closer to the future we deserve.

We are not satisfied.
We do not lower our arms.
We do not accept that this is “what it is.”

Your help is important to materialize the change we need.

7x7x7 Challenge x Diabetes

👉Should we settle for the life that people with diabetes live?

I think not.

We should no...

What a powerful initiative 💙

Just reading it is already exciting... because no, we should not settle.Those of us who live with diabetes know that every day is an invisible marathon: constant decisions, blood glucose levels that go up and down, calculations, anticipation, mental fatigue... And yet we keep going.

The 7x7x7 Challenge is not “just” running.It is putting a face to daily effort.It is to remind society that diabetes is not something specific, it is 24/7.And it is, above all, a call for research, which is the only real way to a better future.

From this forum we have always defended the same thing: technology helps, the community supports... but research is what can change everything.

I really encourage you to get involved in any way you can:

• Running a stage.
• Buying a solidarity bib.
• Donating kilometers.
• Sharing the challenge on networks.
• Talking about it in your environment.

Sometimes we think that our gesture is small.But when hundreds of people make a small gesture, it becomes something huge.

And I take this opportunity to remember something important: the strength of the community makes the difference.This forum has been demonstrating for more than 17 years that when we support each other, learn and share experiences, we live better with diabetes.That network is essential.

• We are not satisfied.
• We do not lower our arms.
• And we are not alone.

We continue 💪💙
