Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes

Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes is the signature fundraising walk of the American Diabetes Association. Formerly Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes and America's Walk for Diabetes, the event has been taking place for more than 20 years and has raised more than $150,000,000 to Stop Diabetes! More than 150,000 participants from over 130 walk events across the country came together last year to raise over $20 million. Step Out in Westchester will take place on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at Mercy College. Enjoy a fun and exciting day of celebration as we recognize our united fundraising achievements in the fight to Stop Diabetes. We honor our Red Striders and show support with every step we take. Meet up with family, friends and colleagues and make new friends at the Step Out Walk! We'll have a fun-filled day with music, dancing, and valuable health education information through The Association and many sponsors and supporters in our vendor village!

Walk registration available in advance and onsite on the day of the event between 8:00-10:00am. Walk begins at 10:00am.To register to walk, or join/create a team, go here: http://www.diabetes.org/stepoutwestchester
