Everyone is invited to join Team St. Anthony for the annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation 5K walk. This year’s event is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16, at the Historic Race Track on Park Place in Goshen. Registration is at noon.
Type 1 diabetes strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves multiple insulin injections or use a pump — every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
“By joining this team and ‘walking for the cure,” said St. Anthony Community Hospital Certified Diabetes Educator Lourdes Braadt, “you have an opportunity to do something to support research that may eventually help to eradicate Juvenile Diabetes.”
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is the worldwide leader in funding research to cure type 1 diabetes, an auto-immune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly and lasts a lifetime. The foundation also is the leading funds-provider and advocate of type 1 diabetes science.
