On October 6th 50 students came
together to do the Walk to Stop Diabetes in Baltimore. It was a perfect day for
a walk around the harbor with sunny blue skies above. We had pharmacy students
from first through 4th year participating and a few PhD students as well. We
raised $840 towards the American Diabetes Association. The money will go towards
research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes;
deliver services to hundreds of communities; and provide objective and credible
information. Everyone enjoyed walking and getting to know each other
outside of the classroom.
MOD is an advocate for Diabetes education and outreach with the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy American Pharmacists Association (APhA-ASP). This blog is here to serve as a diary so others can be inspired and maybe a little entertained by her antics all in the name of healthy lifestyles.
