1st Annual Walk for Diabetes


This year my school "Helen Baller" began a new tradition as we adopted a new fund raiser "Walk for Diabetes” In the years past we've always supported Heart Disease through Jump Rope for Heart...which is a great cause but not a disease that directly effects our school population. Diabetes however is close to home as two of our students cope with the struggles of Type I diabetes everyday and many other family & friends also live with Type II.

So, on Saturday, February 9th at 9am we put together a team of walkers and met at Doc. Harris in Camas to show our support and walk for an hour!! We had a great time A huge thanks to Maurice, Sly, Toni, Michelle, Chris x 2, my mom, and the Butler's for helping us reach our goal and walk to support diabetes.
