Why: Diabetes is a national health crisis and is the fastest growing disease in the United States. There are 22 million people in American who suffer from this disease; another 54 million who without lifestyle changes will get diabetes at some point during their life; and there are yet another 6 million people who have diabetes and are not even aware!! All of these people are at risk for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and a multitude of other complications. Every 21 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes. Your support in helping raise funds for diabetes research, education, and advocacy will go a long way towards making a difference!!
