The 2009 Walk to Cure Diabetes was held on Saturday, October 24 at Mayes Lake at LeFleur’s Bluff State Park.  Over 1,500  attended the Walk and an astounding $530,000 was raised to support needed research to improve the lives of everyone living with diabetes.  The kids all had a fabulous time and enjoyed “their day.”   Of course, the Mississippi Chapter could not have supported such a great event without the help of our generous sponsors, wonderful volunteers, and dedicated participants.  For all that you do – thank you!

Nearly two hundred people from local corporations, clubs and families attended the Team Captain’s Kick-Off Luncheon Thursday, August 27th at the Hilton in Jackson. The lunch was hosted by David Gates, President of the Mississippi Division of Atmos Energy and 2009 Walk to Cure Diabetes Corporate Chair.

The event was emceed by Scott Steele of US 96.3, and the keynote speaker was 8 year old Preston Oden, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at only one year of age.
