Martin Gallagher and Derek Lisham will be doing a 400 km paddle from Killaloe in Co. Clare, to Smith's Stand Share Centre in Lisnaskea.
The Western Trust would like to encourage members of the community to get behind the men.
Martin, who's a diabetic himself has said he wants to raise awareness of diabetes and make a positive difference in the way people can help and deal with the condition in the West.
Figures had shown that 4.5 million people are living with diabetes in the UK and 1.1 million people have the condition but haven't been diagnosed.
The men are aiming to complete the 400 km paddle within 15 days, while also taking time out to stop at different towns and shed light on the problems that fall in line with Diabetes; both mental and physical.
