Swimming offers great health benefits to fight diabetes! Individuals of all ages and abilities can participate in the Swim for Diabetes and have the opportunity to earn great
prizes. Just by having fun swimming, walking in the water, using a kickboard or even doing water aerobics while fundraising, you are helping Diabetes Partnership of Cleveland offer important services to the growing number of adults, children, and families in our community affected by diabetes. One in every eight Cleveland adults has diabetes; 330,000 people in Cuyahoga County. Proceeds
will provide diabetes education and support programs and Camp Ho Mita Koda for children with diabetes. 100% of every dollar you raise stays right here in Northeast Ohio so that those affected by diabetes receive the support they need to live well with the disease.
