On Saturday we walked in the annual Step Out for Diabetes Walk at LaFortune Park. It was very special to me that this campaign wanted to be a part of the event, as I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 20 years now.
With 1 in 2 people in Oklahoma having the potential to develop Diabetes, it should be at the forefront of all our politician's actions.
Over 27 million people in the United States have Diabetes, and it has cost our nation over $174 Billion in 2007 - it is a crisis that our nation needs to address and I know that with Georgianna as our next Congresswoman, she will make great strides in reaching for a cure for this disease.
Thank you to all who came out and supported this event - I look forward to seeing you all again next year to STEP OUT AND FIGHT DIABETES!
