Mercy Medical Center To Participate In The American Diabetes Association's "Step Out" Walk To Fight Diabetes On Sat., Oct. 2nd

Mercy Medical Center will be participating in the American Diabetes Association (ADA)’s annual “Step Out: Walk To Fight Diabetes” on Saturday, Oct. 2nd, 8 a.m. check-in and 9 a.m. start at Rash Field/Inner Harbor. The walk will be held, rain or shine.

“Mercy’s Marchers” will have a table at the event. Those who raise a minimum of $150 will receive a “Step-Out” t-shirt. Mercy’s team goal is to raise $1,000.

Monies raised help fund education for thousands of newly diagnosed patients and their families; programming such as Camp Glyndon at Lions Camp Merrick; the ADA’s summer camp for children with diabetes; advocacy efforts and research towards a cure.
