More than 2,500 walkers representing local businesses, families, schools and other organizations came together at Frontier Park in St. Charles to raise awareness and research funds for JDRF (formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Greater Missouri and Southern Illinois Chapter.
"Every year the Oktoberfest/JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes gets bigger and better," said Christina Shasserre, head of Discovery and Development Solutions, EMD Millipore (St. Charles Corporate Walk Team Chair). "I want to give a special 'thank you' to the amazing volunteers who work so hard to make this event successful. And to our Walkers who were committed to our fundraising goal of $78,000."
JDRF Walks are held in more than 200 cities worldwide. Nearly 900,000 people nationally walked last year and raised $1 billion for research to better treat, cure, and prevent T1D (type 1 diabetes).
