SAN ANTONIO — Step Out Walk is the premier walking fundraising event of the ADA that creates a sense of unity and shared purpose in the fight to end diabetes.
And more than 30 years, Step Out Walk events across the nation have raised funding for diabetes research, advocacy, and education to support the mission of the ADA, to prevent and cure diabetes and improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
Several hundred people participated in Saturday’s 1K and 5K walks. They also took advantage of the booths nearby to learn about other ways to help control their diabetes.
KENS 5's own Jeremy Baker was the event’s emcee.
The organizers say they are already looking forward to next year’s walk. Just before the walk began they had raised $82,000 this year to fight this life-threatening disease.
