Alaskans are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes. Over 59,000 Alaskans are currently affected, and an additional 194,000 Alaskans are pre-diabetic. If present trends continue, it is estimated that one-in-three Americans will be affected by 2050.
Join the Tour de Cure on Aug. 12 to raise awareness about diabetes and help improve the lives of those it affects. Whether you ride, walk or run, there is a route for everyone.
All proceeds support the American Diabetes Association. Learn about how to register as an individual, create a team or donate at www.diabetes.org/anchoragetour.
