American Diabetes Association and Yin-Yang Ball

The Maryland Chapter of the American Diabetes Association is offering two tickets to Feeding the People's Yin-Yang Ball as an incentive for walkers participating in their Walk to Stop Diabetes on October 1, 2011.

We encourage everyone to register today for this important event and begin fundraising at
http://main.diabetes.org/stepoutbaltimore

Become a part of Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes and start making your contribution to Stop Diabetes. Once you register, you can use our online fundraising tools to create your Personal Web Page, email your friends, family and co-workers, accept online donations and raise more money to Stop Diabetes.

It's more fun to Step Out together!
Gather your friends, family and co-workers and form a Step Out team! It's a great way to do something good together and share in a fun and healthy community experience.

When you walk, you help Stop Diabetes.
Walking is one of the easiest, most relaxing forms of exercise for many people, but especially for those living with diabetes. Walking helps control blood glucose levels in people with diabetes and improves overall quality of life. It is also an activity that can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in people at risk.

YOU can make a difference!

In more than 40 states from coast to coast, more than 130,000 walkers will be helping to find a cure for this deadly disease. Join us and your support will make a difference to the 25.8 million Americans who suffer from diabetes.
