Introducing the American Diabetes Association, a WABA Business Member
WABA’s Business Members understand the importance of a community that bicycles. Their membership supports our advocacy, outreach and education. Our business members are committed to a sustainable future of our region and are adding their voice to a growing number of bicycle-friendly businesses supporting WABA. Today meet the American Diabetes Association.
The American Diabetes Association will hold its annual Northern Virginia Tour de Cure at the Reston Town Center on May 13, 2017. The Tour features a variety of routes for people of all ages and skill sets. The Tour is one of the Association’s signature fundraising events, supporting its mission to prevent and cure diabetes and improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. By participating in the Tour you become a critical part of this mission and community. Register or volunteer for the Northern Virginia Tour de Cure here- www.diabetes.org/ novatourdecure.
Locally, the Association works in the community to increase awareness around diabetes. They train ambassadors who can work in their community to encourage healthy lifestyles. They also have program like the Senior Signature Series that trains senior citizens in healthy habits. The Association is constantly at work in the community to provide education and awareness in an effort to help everyone in our area who is affected by diabetes.
