Paula Deen Sponsors .05K Walk For Diabetes Research
Paula Deen is now focused on fitness.
Paula Deen, celebrity chef and diabetes sufferer, has announced a new walking/running event.
According to credible sources, Deen has recently launched the Step for a Cure Foundation, which will host its first annual .05K fun walk to raise money for Type 2 diabetes research.
Yes, of course it’s a joke.
Deen, who has suffered from the disorder since 2009 but only recently revealed her diagnosis while endorsing a diabetes drug for a pharmaceutical manufacturer, told reporters she had begun an exhausting training regimen to prepare for the 164-foot event, walking slowly on a treadmill for up to 15 seconds each day.
