Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation: Walk to Cure Diabetes Saturday, October 18, 2008 at 9:00 a.m.
Military Park, Downtown Indianapolis
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) Walk to Cure Diabetes is one of the fastest growing fundraising events in the world. Each year, over 500,000 people “Walk for a Cure” at 200 JDRF Walk locations in over a dozen countries. Funds are raised by individual and team walkers obtaining donations from family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Monies are also raised through corporate sponsorship and the sale of JDRF paper sneakers at retail outlets. Last year, over $100 million was raised worldwide for diabetes research education through JDRF’s Walk program. In 2007, the Central Indiana Walk in Indianapolis welcomed over 3,300 walkers and raised over $900,000 to help find a cure for diabetes. This year’s goal is to raise $950,000. Event Schedule: 9:00 a.m.- 10:30 a.m.: Registration, food and activities 10:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m.: Opening Ceremony 10:30 a.m.-Official Walk Start 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Picnic lunch with family & friends, music, games and more! Event Details: Registration will begin at 9:00 with snacks and refreshments being served prior to the Walk. We will have two walk routes this year. One will be a 2-mile walk and the other option will be a 5k walk or run. Free Food and Entertainment begins at 9 a.m.. Entertainment will include live music, Colts & Pacers cheerleaders, face painting, Ronald McDonald and much more! Registration Information: To register for the JDRF Walk as either a Team Captain or team walker, please visit www.jdrf.org and click on the “Walk to Cure Diabetes” sneaker link in the middle of the page. It will take you to the Walk registration page. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation: JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research. In fact, JDRF funds the majority of all type 1 research-more than any other nonprofit, nongovernmental agency worldwide. JDRF has provided over $1 billion in direct funding since its inception in 1970. More than 85% of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. Because of our unwavering focus on our mission to find a cure for diabetes, JDRF has consistently maintained top reputation among the nation’s leading independent experts on charitable giving. JDRF funds research with the greatest impact, leading to results as soon as possible. But we aren’t there yet and relatively few people are aware of the prevalence, seriousness, and costliness of this disease. At home, children with diabetes face a lifetime of blood tests, restrictive diets and multiple daily injections of insulin to survive. They will not outgrow this disease. The only remedy is a cure! For More Information: Please contact Stacey Kubal or Liz Ries at JDRF: 317-469-9604 or via email at skubal@jdrf.org or eries@jdrf.org.
