What is Team Red?

Team Red is a program within the American Diabetes Association of Washington State designed to bring Red Striders (participants living with diabetes in the Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes), Red Riders (participants riding with diabetes in the Tour de Cure), their loved ones and those who are affected by diabetes together to collaborate, network and further enhance our efforts to Stop Diabetes.

It is our hope that members of Team Red will:

• SHARE: tell their story and raise awareness about what diabetes is, how they have been affected and what they’ve done to make a life change in the face of diabetes
• LEARN: network with others dealing with diabetes and learn new ways to manage diabetes and the risks of complications
• ACT: advocate for education, awareness and societal change in this fight against diabetes
• GIVE: participate as a fundraiser for Step Out to Stop Diabetes, Tour de Cure and/or create community partnerships to expand the Association’s reach into populations that are directly affected by diabetes
