JDRF One Walk (Walk to Cure Diabetes) Description:
JDRF One Walk (Walk to Cure Diabetes)

JDRF One Walk, annual Walk to Cure Diabetes, will be held Sunday, April 9th, 2017 at Ogren Park (Osprey Stadium). Registration begins at 1pm. The 3 mile walk begins at 2pm and a BBQ and raffle prizes will follow. This year we will be walking the beautiful River Trail in Missoula, MT.

JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of Type 1 Diabetes research worldwide. Since its founding in 1970, by parents with children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1 billion to diabetes research. Missoula's JDRF branch is completely volunteer driven. We have no administrative or office expenses, therefore, 100% of event profits go directly toward funding research and education. Last year our local Missoula walk raised $45,000 that was forwarded on to help find a cure.

The day of the walk will be a fun filled day for both children and families affected by Type 1 diabetes. There will be kids' games, Missoula mascots (Ollie and Slash), a raffle for the walkers, entertainment provided by The Trail radio station, team photos, and a free BBQ after the walk. We are asking friends and family members affected by Type 1 diabetes to organize teams, raise money, and come support diabetes research, education, and community members affected by diabetes.

People interested in forming a team can pick up a registration form at the MSO Hub downtown, OSFF, the Trail radio station, and Payne West Financial. People also can go online to register a team at walk.jdrf.org/montana2017. The final way to get information is to contact our walk coordinators Trish Duce at ducepa@mso.umt.edu or Lindsey Larkin at llarkin@jdrf.org.

Walk registration begins at 1pm Sunday, April 9th at Ogren Park and the walk begins at 2pm. BBQ and raffle prizes will follow the walk.
