Tempe

Join the Desert Southwest Chapter of JDRF for its 20th annual Walk to Cure Diabetes Celebrating Ron Santo at Tempe Town Lake on Saturday, November 3 at 7:30 a.m. More than 20,000 people walkers representing local businesses, families, schools and other organizations are expected to celebrate JDRF’s mission to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Walkers will enjoy a fun-filled day of activities including the 5K walk, inflatable bounce house, face painting, live entertainment, exhibitors, lunch and more.

The chapter has set a fundraising goal of more than more than $1.1 million which will help fund research toward preventing, better treating, and curing type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its complications.

The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes Celebrating Ron Santo draws people together in a healthy activity for a worthy cause, raising money to improve the lives of every person affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating, and preventing T1D.

Each year, more than 15,000 children and 15,000 adults – approximately 80 people per day – are diagnosed with T1D in the U.S. It comes on suddenly, causes dependence on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. JDRF is the leading global organization focused on T1D research. Driven by passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents, and adults with this disease, JDRF is the largest charitable supporter of T1D research.

 WHEN:           Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 7:30 a.m. Registration, 9 a.m. Walk Starts
 WHERE:         Tempe Town Lake
 COST:            FREE
