On October 1, families, volunteers, and sponsors gathered at the Ohio Stadium to walk two miles around the OSU campus, advocating for those with Type 1 Diabetes.

The day began with check-in, followed by families, friends, and other promoters of this cause, most wearing custom made Tee-shirts for the event, to support their diabetic loved ones. Live music, food, and games took place before the walk, which began at 10:30 in the morning.

The JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) hosts its annual “One Walk” in Columbus and nationwide to raise research money to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes: an auto-immune disease affecting approximately three million Americans, 15% of them being children.
