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.
“Only when people are informed about diabetes can they take the proper steps to prevent and/or control the disease,” stated Ken Shimwell, President of the NMB Lions Club.
Onsite registration will be required to enter the walk and contributions will be accepted. The first one hundred entries will receive a Lions “Strides” Walk Pin. Information about diabetes and what you can do to control it will be available. Healthcare professional from Loris Healthcare Systems will be on site providing free diabetes blood tests.
