Walk to Cure Diabetes 2010

by Greg Martin on June 10, 2010

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!
