Dear Colleagues:

part in Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes to support the <LOCAL OFFICE> of the American
Diabetes Association. I will be joining thousands of walkers on <DATE OF WALK> to help stop
diabetes. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. It is

You can join my team, <TEAM NAME>, and raise funds to help the American Diabetes
Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with
diabetes and fund critical research for a cure. You can also make a donation online by visiting
the Web Site at or going directly to our TEAM PAGE URL. If you
would like more information, please contact me at <EMAIL ADDRESS>. Thank you in advance

Together we can stop diabetes. One step at a time.
Sincerely,
