Events

put your best foot forward for diabetes awareness. Then join the tens of thousands who will participate in this year’s Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes®. This fall, 108 communities are hosting walking events, logging miles to raise funds for the American Diabetes Association’s research, prevention, education, and advocacy programs. They’ll also honor and support Red Striders—people who walk with diabetes. Last year’s Step Out walks raised $24 million.
