The walkers are Byron Moats, Wyatt and Margie Moats. Byron's wife, Julia Moats will be driving their motor home, which will be our base support and lodging most of the time.

We are walking for the American Diabetes Association. We are hoping to raise awareness of the following:

A.  The Dangers of Diabetes
      1.  High Blood Pressure
      2.  Heart Disease
      3.  Stroke
      4.  High Cholesterol
      5.  More Prone to Infections
B.  The Necessity of Good Exercise Habits
      1.  Walking Reduces Blood glucose
           Levels
      2.  Proper Diet Helps Control Glucose
           Levels

We have two goals:
      1.  Raise $10,000 for the American 
           Diabetes Assn.
      2.  Raise $10,000 for our expenses on 
           the walk

Our expenses will include gas for the motor home, food, and occasional lodging in motels to do laundry and just "recharge our batteries."

We are about half way to our goal for expenses with about $5,000 in the bank.  We are about 1/4th of the way in our quest for ADA funds.
