A run for diabetes 5K walk/run . Race Information

<p>Hello everybody. <br /><br />         I am Gabriel and I am proud and happy to introduce to you my very first 5 K run/ walk.  This race was inspired by the struggles that mother faced with a  horrific disease called diabetes . My mother was an amazing woman who had taken care of herself and health  the best way that she could  while she was living with this disease.  However, sadly  she died last year August of 2024   due to diabetic complications . This was very traumatic for our family .</p> <p>        I’ve personally seen how hard it was for my mother to be able to afford her diabetic medicine when she really needed it , even with the  insurance that she had  . Having to pay for medicine while Paying bills and taking care of other house hold necessities can all be a lot to anybody. What a lot of people don’t know is that  unfortunately, whatever insurance won’t  pay  most have to pay a remaining balance out of pocket.   So , when I think about what she went through  with this disease,  and I think about how many other people are dealing with the same issue’s as she was . It makes me want to be a voice and lend encouragement to those who don’t truly understand that health is really wealth . <br /><br />I want to thank you for being apart of this amazing event , let’s walk , run , grow and get fit together . </p>
