Event Overview:

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) Walk To Cure Diabetes is one of the fastest growing fundraising events in the world. Each year, over 500,000 people "walk for a cure" at 200 JDRF Walk locations in over a dozen countries. Funds are raised by individual and team walkers obtaining donations from family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Monies are also raised through corporate sponsorship and the sale of JDRF paper sneakers at retail outlets. Locally, JDRF's Philadelphia and Bucks County walk sites welcome nearly 10,000 people and have raised millions of dollars over the years for diabetes research.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2011 Walk to Cure Diabetes a HUGE success!
