Walk to Cure Diabetes

On Saturday, May 1, you can join with half a million walkers worldwide raising money for diabetes research as a part of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk To Cure Diabetes. More than 80 cents of every dollar raised by JDRF goes directly towards diabetes research and research education.
The Fredericksburg Walk to Cure Diabetes hopes to raise more than $40 thousand this year. Those who register online and raise $100 or more by Feb. 28 will be entered into a drawing for a free meal at the Chick-fil-A in Central Park.

The walk will take place at Loriella Park. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., and the walk starts at 10:00 a.m. You can walk as an individual, as part of a corporate team, or you and your family can walk as a family team. For sponsorship and volunteer opportunities, to serve on this year's walk committee, to host a Kids Walk to Cure in your child's school, or for any general questions, more information, or help, contact walk chair Lisa Taylor at 540-834-2188 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
