Annual JBW Walk for Health
Annually, rain or shine, ason-Rice students, faculty and interested parents will walk together around Crystal Lake to promote a healthy lifestyle and raise wareness about type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Sponsors: Mark and Sara Weiss, parents of Jordan Weiss, Beth Nohmy, Mason-Rice School PE Teacher.

Research has shown that regular excercise helps all individuals lead healthier and more productive lives.  Exercise helps prevent obesity, a leading risk factor in the onset of type 2 diabetes.  November is Diabetes Awareness Month.  It is hoped that our walk will raise awareness within our community.  Look for the Annual JBW Walk on the Mason-Rice School Calendar in October/November.
