The American Diabetes Association (ADA) invites the community to the 2024 Step Out Walk to Stop Diabetes at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14 at Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield.
Every 26 seconds, someone in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes. Approximately 636,700 adults in Indiana, or 12 percent of the adult population, have diagnosed diabetes. Additionally, an estimated 31,200 adults in Indiana are diagnosed with diabetes each year.
Step Out Walk is the premier walking fundraising event of the ADA that creates a sense of unity and shared purpose in the fight to end diabetes. For more than 30 years, Step Out Walk events across the nation have raised funding for diabetes research, advocacy, and education to support the mission of the ADA, to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
This year’s walk is a casual, non-timed 5K with rest stops.
