New Garmin Badge in Aid of Diabetes

Can there be a badge created for a challenge of walking 1,000,000 steps over 3 months from 01/07/2024 to 30/09/2024 in aid of Diabetes. This is a challenge for a great cause......

Those dates have already passed so it will very likely not be added. Only badges in the future are added.

Send your suggestion with dates in the future to Garmin: https://garmin.com/ideas

It is still probably too late to make Garmin add it. First you need to submit the idea. Then it needs to be discussed and planned, designed and implemented and finally released.

The big question is why they should add it? Except for a great cause, but there are so many great causes.

When I google Aid of Diabetes I don't get any hits at all (except for some old pages) so is this a global event, but with really bad SEO and promotion or is this something you made up on your own? Badges are not for small local events or personal events. It would probably be possible with a badge for World Diabetes Day if you suggest that, but don't count on it.

does this help

Yeah, it is better. It is still local and not connected to Garmin. Try to get Garmin onboard as a sponsor. Then you might have a case for next year.

It isn't me you need to convince and it is very late. Better try next year.
