Our first Strides Walk for diabetes was a success. We had thirty paricipants walk the 2 mile route and all of them commented on the beauty of the Vereen Gardens location and voiced there thank you's for our efforts in helping to educate the public on diabetes treatment. South Carolina is #2 in the USA for diabetes. Thankfully, it was a perfect day for walking with the temperature in the high seventies.

Lion Secretary Randy Edwards did a tremendous job of researching the Strides program, creating the work assignments & booking the Vereen Gardens location. Participating Lion  members were Lions John Barnhardt, Ben Burroughs, Jack Crowley, Matt Davis, Skip Levinski, Arleen Lopnao, Nick Lopano, Jack Shea, Tom Starnick, Dalphon Thomas and Bill Watson.
