2021 WALK FOR THE BEST

WE HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!

​

​Our annual “Walk for the Best” walkathon is a vital fundraiser for The Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre that brings our patient and family community together to support all of our programs.  This year, we continue to face the challenge of the global pandemic and are limited to a 100 person gathering for our in-person component of this event.
 

For those who do not attend the in-person event, we encourage you to join virtually and walk within your own communities for 3-5 km to meet our pledged goals.  

​

This year marks our 24th annual "Walk for the Best". We're counting on the patients, families and communities we support to join in and be a big part of the 2021 Walk-for-the Best!. On September 26th, starting at 10:00 am, The Best Centre staff invites you, your friends, your families and neighbours to help us fundraise and enjoy a 3-5 km walk or run in support of meeting our pledged goals.
