Saturday, Nov. 2 at Greensboro Country Park over a thousand people walked in the JDRF Greensboro One Walk to raise money to find a cure for diabetes.

The walk raised over $300,000 which is fitting number because this walk unlike previous walks had three chairs.  Lane Schiffman, Kelly Harrill and Jay Harris who were high school friends and joined together some 40 years later to raise money to help find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and JDRF’s Piedmont Triad Chapter will be celebrating it with events throughout the month.

One event in November that just about everyone can participate is Wendy’s Spirit Night For JDRF on Tuesday, Nov. 12 from 5 to 8 p.m. when 15 participating Wendy’s in the Triad will donate 10 percent of their sales to JDRF.  The participating Wendy’s include three in Greensboro at 1500 West Gate City Boulevard, 913 Summit Ave. and 2517 Battleground Ave. and in High Point at 2619 NC 68 South.
