The Crossville and Fairfield Glade Lions Clubs, Cumberland County High School Leo Club and Cumberland Medical Center Diabetes Group will again sponsor a Strides Walk for Diabetes Awareness on Saturday, April 29. The event will take place at Centennial Park, 837 Industrial Blvd., Crossville, starting at 9 a.m.

The April 29 walking event will again be titled Fighting Diabetes One Step at a Time. The course is a 1.1 mile, flat course with a resting location at the half-way mark to rest and get more water.

Registration forms are currently being prepared and will be available shortly. One side of the form is for individual participants who are asked to donate $25 tax-deductible dollars. The other side of the form is for Supporters who have three levels of participation:

Bronze Level requests a $100 tax-deductible donation that allows you to name two walkers and receive publicity.

Silver Level requests $250 tax-deductible donation that allows you to name five walkers and receive publicity.

Gold Level requests $500 tax-deductible donation that allows you to name 10 walkers and receive publicity.

Each paid participant will receive an event T-shirt, a bottle of water and a goody-bag filled with an energy bar and some information about diabetes. You are encouraged to bring your family dog to enjoy the walk. A $5 donation is being requested with a bandana and water being supplied in return.

The net dollars collected will be used to send two Cumberland County students with type 1 diabetes to the Tennessee Diabetic Summer Camp for two weeks this year and the balance will go to the American Diabetic Association (ADA) to help cure this terrible disease. Last year over $6,000 gross was donated. The event sponsors are hoping to collect a larger donation this year.

If you have any questions or concerns about diabetes, please call the Cumberland Medical Center, 484-9511, and ask to speak to someone in the Diabetic Group or check with your doctor.
