"We are looking to Community Walk as a way to engage new volunteers and donors in the
Stop Diabetes movement in smaller communities around the country,” said David McShea,
National Director, Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes. “Due to the challenging economy of the
past few years we had a number of smaller Step Out events cancelled since 2009, but
Community Walk will be able to partially replace the desire to have a walk event in smaller
communities, while raising funds and awareness of diabetes at a low cost, meaning more
funds will go towards helping us to Stop Diabetes."
Today, there are nearly 26 million Americans living with diabetes and 79 million with
pre-diabetes. If present trends continue, 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes by 2050. The
Community Walk and the “Get Fit and Be Healthy” Health Fair will raise funds for type
1 and type 2 diabetes research and education programs.
Chuck Madu, one of the top- rated pharmacist and owner of Freeport Medical Supply
Inc., & Xtra Care Pharmacy in partnership with American Diabetes Association is
pleased to present the “Get Fit and Be Healthy” Community Walk and Health Fair.
