Location: South Street Seaport Registration Opens: 8:30 AM Event Start Time: 10:00 AM Register. Fundraise. Stop Diabetes.Did you know that 1 in 3 children in the United States faces a future with diabetes? Every step you take and every dollar you raise helps the American Diabetes Association provide education programs in our community, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure. Once you register, use our online fundraising tools to create your personal web page, email your friends, family and co-workers, accept online donations and raise more money to stop diabetes. It's more fun to Step Out together! Gather your friends, family and co-workers and form a Step Out team! It's a great way to do good together and share in a fun and healthy community experience. Teams come in all sizes—two or more people make a team! Corporations, friends & family, clubs & organizations and school groups build teams to walk for those who have been touched by diabetes. Get started today by selecting "Form a Team!" When you walk, you help us stop diabetes. Walking is one of the easiest, most relaxing forms of exercise for many people, but especially for those living with diabetes. By participating in Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes, you can get fit, reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes and support the American Diabetes Association! Event InformationThe 4.8 mile route will run along the South Street Seaport Viaduct and across the Brooklyn Bridge. After a brief run through Brooklyn, walkers will once again head back over the historic Brooklyn Bridge headed toward the Seaport. Two boroughs, one bridge and one walk to find a cure for diabetes. We expect well over 3,000 walkers, their supporters and our dedicated volunteers to join us at this years event which will culminate with a huge concert performance at the Seaport from 12:00 - 3:00 PM The day of the event is a party to celebrate the participants fund raising accomplishments, as well as an opportunity to promote awareness about the prevention and cure of diabetes, and the work of the American Diabetes Association. Other Ways to Get InvolvedIf you are unable to walk or you just want to help, there are many volunteer opportunities available. By volunteering, you can touch the lives of family, friends, co-workers and anyone else in our community who lives with diabetes. To learn more about volunteering, please click here.
