Diabetes Walk/Run
A benefit fundraiser for the Rio Grande Valley American Diabetes Association-Cameron County will host a San Benito Diabetes Walk/ Run at Heavin Resaca Trail and a Zumbathon at Kennedy Park. Both facilities are located on the Resaca in San Benito.
Individuals, families and organizations are invited to participate to raise funds for diabetes support and research. Only in its second year of existence, the event raised $14,000 for the RGVDA-CC last year. In its first year, the event contributed $6,000 for the cause. All proceeds remain in Cameron County.
The run and bike tour start at 8 a.m. at Heavin Resaca Trail, and the walk begins at 9 a.m. The Zumbathon is scheduled for 10 a.m. at Kennedy Park. Knowledgeable guest speakers will be on hand to address diabetes-related health topics. Live music, face painting, moon jumps and nutritious snacks and water will also be offered free of charge.
