Description
The Amrican Diabetes Association holds an annual diabetes walk that our clinic staff participated in. There was over $600 raised for the cause and 9 people that participated. The walk was 5K (3.1 miles). The weather was horrible; rain and wind, but we were stong and we all made it to the finish line.
Best Features
The amount of money that was raised for diabetes.
Creative Features
Our team name was sweet steppers!
Challenges
The hardest challenge was dealing with the weather. The rain and the wind was really bad.
Lessons Learned
We suggested that walks in the summer months would be better for future walks/runs.
Future Plans
We plan to continue JMI activities with our family wellness nights and our senior luncheons.
