The 2011 Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes is on Sunday, October 2nd. Chicago, info, Registration link

Register Today!

The 2011 Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes is on Sunday, October 2nd.

Come help us honor our greatest Champion, Ron Santo, as we walk in memory of him.

JDRF lost an incredible leader, friend, and advocate last year. Ron Santo enthusiastically led the Walk for 32 years – giving the Walk a strong and emphatic voice. He helped generate more than $60 million since the Walk’s first steps and made it a spirited and successful annual tradition. He put his heart and soul into the Walk and we’re asking everyone to do the same this October 2. Let’s make this year’s Walk the best yet – in honor of our favorite #10.

Register today at www.walk.jdrf.org. JDRF has just launched a new Walk registration system with exciting new features for our participants.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, October 2nd!


The third year of the Ford Family Team Sponsorship raised over $30,000 through 14 Ford Dealerships sponsoring Family Teams. This campaign drove their local participation to new heights and gave JDRF Family Teams an opportunity for greater success! Success means more funding for diabetes research. Apply now to be part of the 4th year of this program. Over 20 Family Teams will be supported this year. Thank you Ford!
