7th Annual May Walk/Run for Diabetes to be
held May 1 at Roseau City Center

     The 7th Annual LifeCare May Walk/Run for Diabetes is set for May 1. This year, all activities will be held at Roseau City Center.
     Participants qualify for prize giveaways and are eligible for a free T-shirt courtesy of LifeCare Medical Center. Early registration will be held April 24-25 at the Home, Sport, and Family Show in Roseau.
     Once again, LifeCare will cover most of the costs associated with the event so that 100% of funds raised can be donated to local diabetes efforts. These include the Roseau Area Diabetes Center, the American Diabetes Association, and the LifeCare Health Care Fund Eagles Auxiliary Diabetes Fund.
     Held each year on the first Saturday in May, the event continues to gain momentum.
“We anticipate another fantastic response this year,” says Deb Haugen, LifeCare’s Senior Leader of Marketing. “We’ve had participants here from throughout Roseau County, southern Manitoba, the Red River Valley, and beyond.”
     Activities begin at 8:00 a.m. with registration, free glucose checks, and a free-will offering pancake breakfast sponsored by the Roseau Lions Club.
     The 5K walk/run starts at 10:00 a.m.

     A special thanks goes to the LOW-Roseau Chapter of Thrivent Financial for providing supplemental funds to help sponsor the event.
