The Diabetes Dash 5K was created on behalf of Ryan Washburn who was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. All proceeds raised will go to JDRF.
From the moment we entered into the Type 1 family, we knew it was our mission to help spread awareness, give hope to those dealing with the disease and to fight for a cure. We are very lucky for the support we have received from
JDRF and want to do our part in giving back. We hope you can join us on July 7th for the inaugural Diabetes Dash 5K run/walk. The proceeds from the race will go to JDRF. Together we hope to someday, find a cure!
