On Saturday, June 14th the Cascade Lions Club hosted a Diabetes Awareness Walk to help shine a light on a disease that affects millions across the country.
A total of 21 adults, 8 children and 5 dogs participated in the mile-and-a-half walk around the town of Cascade. Along the route, walkers stopped at stations providing educational materials and tips on recognizing the signs of diabetes and the importance of early detection.
Organizers emphasized that education is key to identifying and managing diabetes. When all was said and done the Cascade Lions Club raised $1,300 that will go toward helping kids attend the Montana Youth Diabetes Summer Camp where they can learn more about living with the condition in a supportive environment.
