2008 Walk to Cure Diabetes

Get on your walking shoes and get ready for a fun, family event at the Dell Diamond! On Saturday, October 4, 2008 the Austin Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will hold the 11th Annual Walk to Cure Diabetes. Registration begins at 8:30 am with the walk beginning at 9:30 am.

Join your fellow friends, family and colleagues with plenty of entertainment, food and kid’s activities, all while helping to raise funds to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes.

JDRF is fortunate to have involvement from numerous family and corporate teams, all with one goal: to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. In fact, this year marks the 10th year that Dell, Inc. has participated in the walk. This year Dell, Inc. is the presenting sponsor and Mike Cannon, President of Global Operations at Dell, Inc. is the Corporate Recruitment Chair for the Walk to Cure Diabetes. Thank you Dell, Inc. for your continual commitment to JDRF and individuals who are impacted by type 1 diabetes on a daily basis!

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the world’s leading nonprofit, nongovernmental sponsor of diabetes research, was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with juvenile diabetes—a disease which strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications.  Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $800 million to diabetes research worldwide.  We are proud to say that more than 80% of every dollar goes directly to research and research education.  Our mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.

Our chapter is growing by leaps and bounds in one of the most vibrant cities in the country. Austin is known as the live music capital of the world and has a style and energy all its own. That energy is reflected in the enthusiasm and support shown by the community in our search for a cure for diabetes.

JDRF is dedicated to raising funds for research, and in Austin we are doing this through a highly successful Walk, a Golf Tournament, and our annual Gala.

We always have a great time, and the entire community is invited to get involved!
