Event Information
Get ready to STEP OUT and take your first step in the fight against Diabetes! The Boston Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes will take place on Saturday, October 24th, bringing together families, companies, organizations, and community groups to fundraise for a cure. Join us as we walk through Boston Common in the heart of Back Bay. Enjoy the beautiful fall foliage as you take in the views of Boston's skyline and the State House.
This event is incredibly important for the sake of the cause, and we hope that you will make every effort possible to raise funds for a cure. American Diabetes Association staff will work with you every step of the way.
While we encourage our participants to fundraise online, you can also send any checks/cash donations you may receive directly to our Boston office at this address: 
American Diabetes Association
330 Congress Street, 5th Floor
Please make sure you include your name and team name so we can credit you for the collections!

See you there, rain or shine!
Helpful Walker Tools
Register. Fundraise. Stop Diabetes.
Did you know that 1 in 3 children in the United States faces a future with diabetes?
The American Diabetes Association works everyday to change the frightening future that diabetes has in store, but we need your help. Together we can stop diabetes. Take the first step today by registering to walk in our local Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes event.
Every step you take and every dollar you raise helps the American Diabetes Association provide education programs in our community, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure. Once you register, use our online fundraising tools to create your personal web page, email your friends, family and co-workers, accept online donations and raise more money to stop diabetes.
It's more fun to Step Out together! Gather your friends, family and co-workers and form a Step Out team! It's a great way to do good together and share in a fun and healthy community experience. Teams come in all sizes—two or more people make a team! Corporations, friends & family, clubs & organizations and school groups build teams to walk for those who have been touched by diabetes. Get started today by selecting "Form a Team!"
When you walk, you help us stop diabetes. Walking is one of the easiest, most relaxing forms of exercise for many people, but especially for those living with diabetes. By participating in Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes, you can get fit, reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes and support the American Diabetes Association!
