“The Mansfield United Lions Club Strides for Diabetes Walk is an opportunity to learn about one of Lions’ key pillars of service — diabetes,” said Debra Weaver, President of the Mansfield United Lions Club. “This event is about creating awareness and community engagement.”
“Strides for Diabetes is designed to support people living with diabetes as well as those who care about them,” said Dr. Cynthia Dorsey, Mansfield United Lion and local endocrinologist. “We hope to see plenty of individuals and families joining us. Let’s walk, learn, and take steps toward better health together!”
