Today we laced up our shoes to walk for Mississippi's No. 1 health problem - Diabetes.
Legions of walkers, runners, bicyclers, skaters and strollers alike joined friends, family members, co-workers and pets to walk for a healthier Mississippi each year at Mississippi’s Walk for Diabetes, held in various locations around the state.
Sponsored by the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi (DFM) – the state’s only nonprofit organization that provides diabetes research, education, patient services, children’s programs and advocacy to Mississippians of all ages, – the annual Walk for Diabetes draws hundreds of participants. Participants come to show their support for not only the DFM’s mission of service to the 346,500 Mississippians with diabetes but also for their loved ones fighting the disease.
I am the president of our Health and Kinesiology Club at the W and I felt that it was important for our group to participate today. We had a wonderful time and the weather was beautiful! I think everyone knows of someone or has family members battling diabetes. It is so important that we do our part! God Bless all who helped raise money for the Foundation today! Your reward is in Heaven!
