3rd Annual
DIABETES WALK FOR HOPE
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2009

WAS A HUGE SUCCESS

THANK YOU!

To all 2009
Walkers, Volunteers and Donors. 

It was a perfect sunny day.
The band Red Door Relic was rocking and rolling to familiar tunes.

Truly not just a walk in the park!  Participants walked, ran, rode their bikes and rollerbladed along with family, friends, pets and co-workers.  With live entertainment, refreshments, and our kiddy corner, a fun day was had by all.

Walkers were asked to raise a minimum of $25.00 to receive a Diabetes Walk for Hope t-shirt and we had a tremendous turnout of close to 500 people.  All participants deserve a huge congratulations for completeing the walk and working so hard to raise money for children living with diabetes.  We are still adding the totals and hope to have raised an estimated $100,000 for Diabetes Hope Foundation.  Again, a huge thank you to all.   Without your enthusiasm and determination the event would not been the success that it was.  

The Diabetes Walk for Hope is a beautiful 5K walk in which anyone can participate without special training.  The path of hope is surrounded by trees and wildlife along the Humber River, allowing you to absorb the serenity of natural beauty without leaving the city.  It is a wonderful, heart-warming event that is both family-oriented and community-supported.   The Diabetes Walk for Hope encourages the accomplishments and recognizes the daily challenges of a child who lives with diabetes.  The funds raised are directed to three community based initiatives: 
Scholarship, Medical Assistance and Recreational Programs.
