Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes

Aubrey Garibay — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:16:33 +0000

Listen up FYPers and PATAK!

Over 26 million children and adults in the U.S. have diabetes, 1/3 of them don’t know it, and over 79 million are pre-diabetic. Every 21 seconds someone in this country is diagnosed with diabetes. If current trends continue, 1 in 3 children born today will develop this chronic disease in their lifetime.

A study in the Houston metropolitan area concluded that Filipinos are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes than the U.S. non-Hispanic white population

(Diabetes Care, Vol. 24, Number 12, Dec. 2001).

We can do our part by walking together and raising money to help fund diabetes research, education advocacy. Bring your family, friends, and co-workers. Kids and dogs are also welcome!

The Filipino Young Professionals of Houston and TX4GK proudly host this year’s GK Walk in Houston. The event aims to raise awareness about the mission and vision of Gawad Kalinga (GK) of eradicating poverty in the Philippines and the whole world. As we walk together, we show our strong belief in the spririt of Bayanihan and our stand against poverty. Let us all take part. We can make the Philippines rise from being a third world country.

Gawad Kalinga (to give care) is an integrated, sustainable, holistic program, which aims to address poverty in the Philippines by transforming and empowering poor communities through its various programs (i.e. community development, livelihood programs, preschool). GK has created more than 3,000 communities in the last 7 years and it continues to impact more lives everyday. GK’s goal is to end poverty to 5 million poor families in 2024.
