Dash4Diabetes 5K & 10K Walk/Run: Lace Up for Our Signature Event

Celebrating Our Momentum: Dash4Diabetes Launches Today!

The energy is electric, and the anticipation is palpable as we officially launch the Dash4Diabetes 5K and 10K Walk/Run today! Building on the remarkable success of the Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run, we are thrilled to invite you to our signature event of the year, set to take place on Saturday, November 30 at Al Lopez Park.


Our Goals: More Than Just a Race

More than a race Dash4Diabetes is a movement. With each step we take together, we aim to:

❏ Raise Critical Funds: Proceeds from the event will directly support Sensible Health Initiatives’ vital programs, such as Fit Futures, which is dedicated to instilling healthy habits in our youth.

❒ Fuel Community Health Initiatives: Your participation helps us expand our reach and enhance programs that make a significant impact in our community.


The Urgency of Our Mission

The statistics are more than just numbers; they represent our friends, family, and neighbors:

❏ In Florida, nearly 12% of adults are living with diabetes, with Tampa and Hillsborough County reflecting similar trends.

❒ This prevalence underscores the critical need for community-engaged health initiatives and lifestyle education efforts aimed at preventing and managing Type 2 diabetes.


Why Your Participation Matters

By joining Dash4Diabetes, you're stepping up to make a difference. Here’s how you can get involved:

Fundraise for the Cause: Consider becoming a Blue Circle Runner. By raising a minimum of $250, not only will you make a more significant impact, but your race registration fee will be refunded after the event. Every dollar raised goes directly into programs that combat diabetes and promote health in our community.

Spread the Word: Share your commitment on social media, invite friends and family, and encourage organizations to get involved. The more participants we have, the bigger impact we can make!
