North Myrtle Beach - Join the Lions Club of North Myrtle Beach on Saturday, November 14th, World Diabetes Day, as they sponsor a “Strides” Lions Walk for Diabetes Awareness.
Diabetes awareness is a top priority for the Lions Club of North Myrtle Beach as well as Lions Clubs International. The need for diabetes information in our community is greater than ever. The “Strides” program is designed to promote awareness of diabetes through family-friendly activities.
