Hundreds of walkers laced up their shoes and gathered at Soldier Field on Saturday, Oct. 22, to participate in the American Diabetes Association (ADA) fundraiser, Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes. The McDonald’s Operators of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (MOCNI) had a tent at the Walk where they shared information about McDonald’s various menu options.

“The number of children and adults suffering with diabetes is alarming,” said Ron Lofton, McDonald’s Owner/Operator and President of MOCNI. “Exercise and choosing balanced food options are ways that we can take more control in preventing and managing diabetes. MOCNI is pleased to be supporting the ADA Chicago’s Step Out Walk and be able to share McDonald’s balanced food options with the participants.” For more information, visit www.diabetes.org/stepout.
