Thank you so much to everyone that attended the Step Out Walk on Saturday, October 3rd! The walk was a great success because of YOU! We raised more than $85,000 and had over 700 volunteers and walkers at the event. In such desperate times, it is amazing to see what a generous and supportive community we have here in Southern Nevada. Keep in mind, we have until November 3rd to continue raising money and striving for our ambitious goal of $150,000! Any contributions you receive between now and then will be credited toward your overall walk and team totals. Keep in mind if you raise $200 or more and turn it in by October 3rd, you will be eligible to receive awesome Thank You Gifts! If you qualify, you will receive your Thank You Gift Certificate approximately 6-8 weeks from now. Every dollar you raise for Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes plays an important role in supporting critical diabetes research, education and outreach. More than 75 cents of every dollar raised supports the mission of the American Diabetes Association, which is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. Since its inception, the Association has invested more than $450 million in research projects and, each year, conducts professional education activities that reach more than 25,000 health professionals. The Association is also the largest provider of Diabetes Camps as well as weekend retreats and one-day events that benefit more than 10,000 children of all ages every year. We cannot fund these efforts and many more without your support! Other Important Links:

Christopher Hughes
Hi my name is Christopher. I am seven years old. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 15 months old. I really want to help along the cure, so we can let diabetes go. The best part of diabetes is all the people we have met. The worst part is that I would really like someday to not have diabetes. Can you please join our team Christopher's Milers? Let's find the cure together!
