keeping up with the pace… step by step hundreds of people showed up downtown at 8 am to participated in the 8th annual diabetes awareness walk and run. epda hosted the event. the local organization’s mission is to improve the quality of life of indivuals with and at risk of developing diabetes. every penny from today’s proceeds stays in el paso – and goes towards educational programming, awareness, advocacy and early detection of diabetes. we spoke with one man – who has type one diabetes – but says it hasn’t stopped him from living life to the fullest. “ive run across the continent, have cycled across the continent. there is a guy on the mound from minnesota that is throwing a fastball in the major leagues. so you tell me what’s not possible.”
