The American Diabetes Association will hold the “Step-Out” Walk to Stop Diabetes tomorrow, September 23rd at Mackenzie Park to help bring awareness to the issue of diabetes here on the South Plains.
More than 34,000 people in Lubbock live with diabetes, and more often than not, both the individual suffering from diabetes and their family members feel the impact of the disease.
The walk will begin at 9 a.m. but check in starts at 8 a.m. There is no cost to sign up but you are encouraged to try to raise around $200 through fundraising. You can also make a donation yourself.
To register or if you’d like more information about the walk, go to diabetes.org/stepoutlubbock
