Welcome to Our Step Out Team Page!
Together we can stop diabetes. One Step at a Time.
We are walking and raising funds for the American Diabetes Association’s signature fundraising walk, Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes. Every step we take and every dollar we raise will make a difference in the lives of 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes.
What can you do to help?
** Join our team and help us stop diabetes by raising funds to reach our goal!
** Make a donation to support one of our team members! No matter how small or large, your generous donation will help us stop diabetes.
Either way, you will be helping the Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.
Did you know that 1 in 3 children in the United States face a future with diabetes?
The Association works everyday to change the frightening future that diabetes has in store, but we need your help. Please make a donation to my fundraising efforts. Together we can stop diabetes.

About Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors appear to play roles. There are 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes, a disease that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and AIDS. Diabetes is a disease that has deadly serious consequences, and there is no cure.
