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!
Other Ways to Get Involved
If 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.
