Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes
Date:
Sun, Jun 9th, 2019Time:
9:00 am to 12:30 pm
Description:
Join a powerful movement to create a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D). Be a part of a collective rally that brings together thousands of people whose lives are touched by T1D every day, and help change the face of T1D forever.
Please join us at this year’s Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes for JDRF, happening on June 9th. We’re at a new location this year: Boyce Gyro Beach Park in Kelowna! The Walk is JDRF’s signature community fundraising event in the Okanagan, and our goal this year is to raise $112,000 for type one diabetes research!
The day starts early with food, music, games and activities for our estimated 500 participants: families, friends and neighbours of those afflicted with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and members of the general public. The walk is an easy 1.6km up and down Lakeshore between Gyro and Rotary beaches, and finishes with a hot dog lunch!
In the 17 years it has been in Kelowna, the Sun Life Walk has raised over $2 million to help cure, better treat, and prevent T1D. Please join us at this year’s Walk, and support the incredible research projects that are paving the way to a world without T1D.
