School Walk for Diabetes
Do you know someone with diabetes? You probably do. There are 23.6 million kids and adults in the United States with diabetes. Diabetes is a serious disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. There is no cure.
Diabetes can result in serious complications, including strokes, heart disease, kidney failure, amputations and blindness.
That’s why we need your help. Belvidere North High School’s Psychology Club is partnering with the American Diabetes Association to host School Walk for Diabetes.
Psychology Club would like to welcome any students and community members to participate in a 2 mile walk on May 2, 2010 at Prairie Fields Sports Park in Belvidere IL. All proceeds will benefit the American Diabetes Association.
With your help, we can raise money to support the mission of the American Diabetes Association: to prevent and find a cure for diabetes and to help all those affected by diabetes.
