La Boucle du Diabète - France
La Boucle du Diabète is organized every year by the Type1 Running Team organisation in Paris, France. And since, 2020 and COVID19, our event has been virtual in France and around the World !!
A great opportunity to meet people who live with diabetes, to inspire / be inspired, and to raise awarness towards Diabetes.
I do organize La Boucle du Diabète with my 2nd organization Type1 Running Team . Our team "Type1 Running Team" brings together around France more than one hundred runners & triathletes with type1 diabetes. I co-founded it in 2015 with a T1D friend, David Limousin .
