Message from Montebello Lions: "Diabetes is the eighth-leading cause of death in the world. And the numbers are rising. Lions and Leos are confronting this global health emergency by raising awareness of diabetes through Strides events, expanding access to care through screening and treatment programs, and improving quality of life through diabetes camps and community recreational programs. We believe we can help prevent and control this global epidemic by uniting Lions, Leos and the community around this cause. Diabetes Affects Us All. Chances are you know someone with diabetes."
