About the Walk

Walk to Cure Diabetes is the fastest growing fundraising event in the history of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Last year, nearly $86 million was raised through Walk to Cure Diabetes to fund diabetes research. This year, the Walk to Cure Diabetes is expected to surpass $90 million.

Last year, over 500,000 participated at one of 200 sites throughout the country.
