ALLENTOWN, Pa. -

For more than 20 years, people all over the country have been "stepping out" to stop diabetes.

The annual walk has raised more than $150 million to stop the disease.

It gets underway in our own backyard in just a few weeks.

Dawn Fernandez from the American Diabetes Association stopped by 69 News at Sunrise to tell us more about the fight against diabetes and the upcoming walk, and Mayor Pawlowski from Allentown, Mayor Panto from Easton, and Mayor Callahan joined her to announce a special mayoral challenge!
