Step Out for Diabetes!

Every year, the ADA hosts an event called StepOut which is a walk to raise money for the fight against diabetes. The money goes towards research to find a cure, raising awareness, and providing services to those affected by diabetes.  Here at the University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy, we've formed a team so that we, too, can be part of this very important cause. We are all extremely excited to be able to make a difference through this great event. Our goal this year is to raise $3,000 so please help support us by joining our team or making a donation. Every donation and every step will bring us closer to stopping diabetes and improving the lives of everyone affected by this deadly disease.
