Jerry’s Wall of Paine UK Lectures in April 2014
Hey people,
If anyone can make the dates please come along. I will probably ask you to come up on stage and share the occasion. It will be a lot of fun and very informal so try and make it if you can. And tell any other diabetics as I will be talking about what works for me as a T1 on big trips.

Plus 60% of all monies raised will go directly to my Ecuador Project: http://www.insulinforlife.org/help

I attended Jerry Gore's talk at Kendal. A very small audience, for an excellent presentation. I have done some rock climbing, but not big walls, and have trekked in Torres del Paine, but no background information is needed, as Jerry filled in details about climbing and diabetes for anyone who doesn't know about either.

Definitely recommended. Talks in Manchester, Bristol and London coming up, so try to catch, if you can.
