Welcome to our new Walk blog and the 31st Annual Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes! We are thrilled to expand into Central Illinois this year with our 6th official Walk location. Save the dates and help us find a cure!Sunday, September 13, 2009 in Peoria.
Why Walk?
As many as 3 million Americans have type 1 diabetes, a disease most often diagnosed in childhood that strikes suddenly, lasts a lifetime, and carries the constant threat of deadly complications, including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and amputation. JDRF's mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Thanks to dramatic research progress, a cure is now within our reach.
The Walk draws people together in a healthy activity for a worthy cause, raising money to help find a cure for diabetes. It's fun for families and builds camaraderie among company employees. Above all, you’ll feel great about doing something good.
