Summer means more daylight, more time to hang out outside and more time to get in shape for back-to-school! If you exercise by power walking around the neighborhood with your girls, why not do it to end diabetes?
“Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes” is an American Diabetes Association fundraiser that gets teams involved in supporting diabetes research. Get people to sponsor you for every mile you walk! It’s a fun, high-energy way to raise money toward a cure, and anyone can participate; just bring your enthusiasm!
Find a Step Out event near you at stepout.diabetes.org! Ever wonder what it would be like to speak out about diabetes? 17-year-old Tesch West is a Youth Advocate for ADA and also a type 1 diabetic. Read her blog about how she deals here!

Thanks for the post. My mother has Diabetes so it's an important cause to me, so I donate financially and my time. Kudos to Tesch on how she has dealt with this, I'm not sure I could handle her daily routine. Speaks volumes of what type of young lady she is.
