We Step Out Because...
You can Step Out and make a difference! Everyone has a very personal reason for participating in Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes. What is yours?
We Step Out to do our part to Stop Diabetes! Participants are changing the future and making a positive impact in the lives of those who are affected by diabetes.
Step Out participants are committed to walk and raise money in this inspirational event not because 26 million people in the United States have diabetes, but because they walk among us in our lives and at the event.
By registering, 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.
Once you register, you'll be giving your very own web page and will have access to lots of tools to help you fundraise your Step Out Center. You'll be able to customize the page with your reason for walking, send emails to ask others to join you or donate, and even download Facebook and smart phone apps. And of course, your ADA staff partner will be here to help all along the way!
Event Highlights
Walking is one of the easiest, most relaxing forms of exercise for many people, but especially for those living with diabetes. Walking helps control blood glucose levels in people with diabetes and improves overall quality of life. It is also an activity that can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in people at risk.
Join us on Saturday, October 6th as we Paint the Walk RED in the fight to Stop Diabetes! This year we are stepping out at the Stop Diabetes RED Zone in Phoenix, home of North Phoenix Baptist Church. The day of event will kickoff with entertainment, fun family activities and inspiring stories. After the 1 mile or 5K walk through the historical Phoenix neighborhoods, you will be greeted by volunteers at the finish line celebration!
Interested in joining an elite group of fundraisers? Participants who raise $1,000 or more become "Champions to Stop Diabetes". They are committed to doing everything they can to Stop Diabetes and are truly the backbone of our fundraising efforts.
When you set your goal at $1,000 or more and strive to become a Champion, ADA staff will not only do everything they can to help you achieve your goal, but they'll be recognizing and encouraging you along the way! Just for setting your goal at the Champions level, you'll receive a "Striving to be a Champion" badge on your personal page!
We will announce new Champions right here on the homepage! Will you be next?
