Cure diabetes by walking it off this weekend at Santa Monica Beach. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is hosting a 5K Walk to Cure Diabetes on Sunday, Oct. 23, starting at 2600 Barnard Way.

Breakfast and registration begins at 8 a.m., with the walk going from 10 a.m. to noon.

The walk will raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which funds innovative, cutting-edge diabetes research worldwide and is dedicated to finding a cure for juvenile diabetes, organizers said.

Each year, JDRF sponsors a walk to raise money for diabetes research. It has awarded more money for diabetes research than any other charitable organization — more than $900 million since its founding in 1970, including more than $98 million in 2005 alone, officials said.

This year, Van's International Waffles and Fabe's All Natural Bakery are partnering with the JDRF by offering a diabetes-friendly breakfast to walkers before the event. Stick it to hunger this Sunday
