When I started my company, I called several organizations if I could do an inservice to educate people on lifestyle modification, importance of physical activity in preventing and managing diabetes BUT I was really disheartened that most places will not allow me. But then I met Ann Teano and we clicked right away. She asked me if I could be the President of a Lions Club. I did not even know what it is. But I’m glad I did. It gave me the platform to impart knowledge to the community. I am very passionate about educating people on diabetes prevention and management, and mental health awareness.
Did you know that people with diabetes often have depression or anxiety???
So if you know anyone who is dealing with diabetes, pre-diabetes, send them my way. You can also be part of our Lions Club: Chicago Nurses for Diabetes Lions Club and be part of a movement. This Sunday, we are doing the Annual Walkathon to raise funds for diabetes management and mental health. It’s at Green Valley Forest Preserve in Naperville from 8-2pm. Registration is $30 per participant. It’s only 5k but it’s for a good cause. If you can’t make it in person, we also accept donations. PM or text me for details.
