Walk To Cure Diabetes
Each year, more than 500,000 people “walk for a cure” at 200 JDRF locations worldwide. Funds are raised by individual and team walkers obtaining donations from family and friends, corporate sponsorship and the sale of JDRF paper sneakers at retail outlets. Last year, JDRF’s Walk program raised $85 million worldwide to support diabetes research and research education. 2013 Michigan and Northwest Ohio Walk dates and locations will be announced soon: East Lansing Saturday, August 3, 2013 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan Toledo Saturday, September 21, 2013 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Ottawa Park, Toledo, Ohio For more information, contact Lori Lamb at 419-481-8223 or llamb@jdrf.org.
