About the Walk to Cure Diabetes
The Walk to Cure Diabetes is JDRF’s largest fundraising program. In 2009, Walkers raised $89,000,000,nearly half of JDRF’s total public support, thanks to the countless numbers of volunteer teams that support the Walk. The Walk to Cure Diabetes is a fun-filled event for you and your friends and family and it builds camaraderie among co-workers. It’s also an uplifting and encouraging experience and an opportunity to be part of the diabetes community. It is a chance to take action, to step up to the plate and do something positive. Walk is the way to the cure!
