Portland Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes September 13, 2009

Did you know that 1 in 3 children in the United States faces a future with diabetes?

The American Diabetes Association works everyday to change the frightening future that diabetes has in store, but we need your help. Together we can stop diabetes. Take the first step today by registering to walk in the Portland Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes event.

Please join us on Sunday, September 13th for the Portland Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes from the Rose Quarter. This year the walk will take you through the beautiful and Historic Irvington District with its beautiful homes and pristine foliage. The walk will consist of a one, three or six mile distance with several rest stops on the way to treat you to music, entertainment and goodies. It's more than just a walk - look for clues along the way to win great raffle prizes!

Upon your return to the Rose Quarter you can enjoy kid's activities (bouncy houses, basketball hoops, games & more), an all ages band playing great music, lunch(chicken sandwiches and salad) and a Health Fair Tent providing information from our vendors and sponsors.

This fundraising Walk helps support the American Diabetes Association's research, information, advocacy and local program efforts.
