Run for Diabetes

Date: Sep 06,2010

Join the Run for Diabetes and make a difference
for more than 100,000 Manitobans living with
this serious, life-threatening disease

For more than 50 years, the Canadian Diabetes Association has championed the diabetes community through world-class research, public programs and services, educational events and more. In the last decade, the Association’s Team Diabetes program has helped motivate thousands of participants to fundraise for our cause, while training to run or walk in events across the country and around the world.

Working with some of our key partners - including NorthWest Company, National Aboriginal Diabetes Association, the Manitoba Runners Association, and Running Room, the Canadian Diabetes Association and Team Diabetes are proud to host the inaugural Run for Diabetes on Monday, September 6, 2010.

With 100,000 Manitobans living with diabetes – a number that is on the rise – our province has the highest rate of type 2 diabetes in the country. This sobering statistic is just one of the important drivers behind our special event.
