DIABETES is known as the tsunami of the 21st century, killing more people worldwide than AIDS and cancer combined, and yet people know so little about this serious condition.
The Durban Wellness Festival, supported by SASA, Lily and Clover Tropika Slenda, as well as the Protea Hotel by Marriott Durban Edward, has been created to show people that they can make positive changes before it is too late.
It takes place on Sunday, 11 November. It is a celebration of all things healthy, with a 5km fun run/walk, music, Zumba Bollywood style, yoga and a yoga laughter session and an expo that not only aims to raise awareness about diabetes in South Africa but also to encourage people to look after their health.

There will be an opportunity for the public on the day to have their blood pressure, blood sugar, eyes and feet tested.
Taking place at the Durban Amphitheatre at the Bay of Plenty, the Durban Wellness Festival 5km fun walk will open for registration at 7am, at just R60 per person, and officially kicks off at 8am sharp with the cut-off at 10am.
All proceeds generated from the 5km fun run/walk will go towards Diabetes SA Durban.
To enter the fun run/walk or to exhibit on the day, contact Pat Bonini on 031 201 2169 during office hours or email: mw.nerve@mweb.co.za.
