11 million Canadians affected by some form of diabetes
The Diabetes Canada Clothesline Program is partnering with the Spotted Spa Resort and Doggytopia to host a "Dog Walk for Diabetes" at 10 AM on Thursday, June 28th.
Participants are asked to bring a garbage bag sized donation of gently used clothing or other houshold items to the Program's Kelowna office at 102-1054 Ellis Street before the dog walk begins.
The first 20 participants to bring a donation will be given a doggy treat bag, while participants who bring more than one donation will get an extra raffle ticket for a prize draw after the walk.
Over 11 million Canadians are currently living with some form of diabetes, with the majority being seniors. Each year, over $5 million goes towards diabetes research due to the Clothesline Program.
