I was called at the last minute to photograph the teams participating in this year’s Walk to Cure Diabetes to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. What a great event. Thousands of people came out on an ice-cold day to raise money for this very worthy cause.
After the run was over, teams gathered to watch dancers, played with reptiles, and ate lunch provided by KFC.
Photos of some of the teams can be seen here. All of the team shots are mine; some of the other images belong to another photographer.
This year, with the Hollywood-themed crowd, I saw everything from old-town Hollywood to Hugh Heffner, to a giant penguin. An unsuspecting bartender got a surprise lap dance from the DJ, and Marilyn Monroe had a couple of clones.
