Team Diabetes - Canada!

October 15 - 19, 2010

Each year millions of people travel to Arizona to see the crown jewel of the American landscape - The Grand Canyon, and though seeing is believing, you can do much more than look! You can experience it on a personal level, up close, one step at at time! At the same time, you will bring help and hope into the lives of thousands of diabetes patients and their families.

In October 2010, Team Diabetes will be traveling to Grand Canyon National Park – one of the seven natural wonders of the world - for an exciting and challenging hiking adventure.

Team Diabetes participants will have the opportunity to experience the magnificent beauty of the Grand Canyon. From the rolling hills of the rim to the steep descents into the Canyon of up to 3,000 feet, participants will hike the trails led by The Walking Connection's best expert guides who will interpret the intricacies of the geology, history, flora, fauna and environmental zones of the canyon.

If YOU are willing to train and prepare yourself for an exciting adventure then you have come to the right place. By yourself, with a few friends, a corporate team or a hiking club, you can support the Canadian Diabetes Association and their mission while positively changing your own life.

The Conquer The Canyon training program is specifically designed by The Walking Connection to help prepare you to meet the personal challenges of one of several levels of hikes at Grand Canyon - from the easiest walks along a paved path to the most difficult trails into and out of Grand Canyon. There is a walk or hike to suit everyone. Walking Connection professional Grand Canyon Guides will lead small groups of just 6 - 13 hikers. This hotel based adventure provides a "Grand Adventure" while hiking the canyon, and the ultimate comfort as you relax and celebrate your accomplishments in comfortable accommodations.

The training program will help you gain confidence while increasing your fitness level and endurance! The mission celebration adventure at Grand Canyon is just that - a celebration of all your accomplishments in support of the Canadian Diabetes Association.
