November shines as National Diabetes Month, a time when communities across the nation rally to bring attention to diabetes, its impact on millions of lives, and the ways we can combat and even prevent this chronic disease. This year, we're marking the occasion with a groundbreaking event: the Dash4Diabetes 5K and 10K Walk/Run at Al Lopez Park on Saturday, November 30, 2024.

Dash4Diabetes is more than just another event; it's a community uprising against the tide of diabetes in Tampa. As we lace up to Walk or Run, we do it for both the challenge and a cause that touches many of our families and friends.

This event is set against the backdrop of some staggering local statistics:

• In Hillsborough County, approximately 13.5% of adults are living with diabetes.
• Type 2 diabetes rates in Tampa's youth are increasing, mirroring national trends that show a troubling rise in early-onset diabetes.

These numbers represent our community members who face daily challenges and complications from this pervasive condition. Dash4Diabetes aims to rally the community, raise funds, and empower people to better navigate their health journeys.

Dash4Diabetes will feature a 5K, 10K, and a 5+10K Challenge for those looking to push their limits. We have planned activities that will engage families, fitness enthusiasts, and everyone willing to support a great cause.
