Tarragona, November 28, 2024. The municipalities of Perafort and Els Garidells joined forces last Sunday, November 24, in the ninth edition of the solidarity walk for diabetes.
The event, which brought together nearly 400 people of all ages, raised nearly 2,000 euros, which will be used to support research on this disease through the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV).
The participants enjoyed a 9-kilometer circular route that connected the two towns, promoting health, coexistence and commitment to a cause of solidarity. The funds collected will be allocated to the Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Diseases Research Group (DIAMET), a team of scientists from the IISPV that is a reference in Spain for its history in the study of diabetes and associated metabolic diseases.
The DIAMET group has made significant scientific advances possible that contribute to improving the knowledge and treatment of diseases such as diabetes, which affects millions of people worldwide.

Once again, this walk demonstrates how citizen collaboration can become an engine of change, boosting scientific research and improving the lives of many people.
