Diabetes, often called a silent epidemic, affects millions worldwide. This pervasive condition demands attention due to its impact on health and quality of life. Addressing diabetes is crucial for individuals and healthcare systems, requiring proactive measures to manage and prevent its far-reaching complications.
The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi Inc. stands at the forefront of the battle against diabetes, committed to providing support, education, and resources to individuals and families affected by this condition. Through their dedicated efforts, they raise awareness, promote early diagnosis, and foster a community dedicated to living well with diabetes. Join their cause in tackling this global health challenge.
Discover a compelling opportunity to support the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi Inc. as they gear up for the Gulf Coast Mississippi’s Walk for Diabetes on March 02, 2024. This event invites individuals and families to come together in the beautiful Gulf Coast region, fostering a sense of community while raising vital funds to combat diabetes. Embrace the chance to make a difference and show solidarity in the fight against this widespread health concern.
Join us for this year’s Coast Mississippi’s Walk for Diabetes, with Honorary Walk Chair family, TBA , on Saturday, March 2, 2024 at Jones Park.
We all know the phrase, “it takes a village.” Bring your “village,” whether that is your family, friends, classmates, sports team, Sunday school class, co-workers or civic group and get your steps in while honoring or remembering those you love with diabetes!
The event will be fun for the whole family! Registration and activities begin at 1PM, followed by a One Mile Fun Run/Walk or 3 mile Walk starting at 2PM.
One hundred percent of donations raised by the Walk for Diabetes stay in our state to fund educational and assistance programs for Mississippi adults and children with type 1 and type 2, as well as Camp Kandu for children with diabetes!
Support a future without diabetes; register to empower Mississippians in need.
