| Description |
Through my studies and past experiences with sports and nutrition I have learned that I have something to offer the community. After spending time volunteering in various service activities I decided I wanted to focus my efforts and start a student group. I have since started the Diabetes Awareness Group at the University of Utah and have been working to make the group sustainable. Our mission is to better educate the importance of health and exercise and its role in the prevention of diabetes. We reach out and teach in the community, at local elementary and middle schools, and high schools. In understanding that beating a disease comprises both of prevention for the non-ill, as well as helping to find a cure, we have incorporated a fundraising project as a way of raising money for diabetes research at the University of Utah. We hope that our efforts will inspire a more healthy way of living for those in our community. |
