2013 Dates and locations coming soon!
Fundraise!
In addition to participating on event day, walkers and runners are encouraged to raise funds in support of the Canadian Diabetes Association. These funds will be used to support Canada’s most renowned scientists and clinicians in their quest for new and innovative developments in the prevention, treatment, and management of diabetes. Although the research is diverse in its scope, the key aspects remain the same – to improve the quality of life of people living with diabetes and to find a cure.
