One way to get moving as we head into spring is to participate in Diabetes Partnership of Cleveland's 27th annual Swim for Diabetes. This year's honorary co-chairs are Olympic Gold Medalist Diana Munz and Jerry and Coleen Skeabeck, NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Families" Contestants.

Swim for Diabetes will take place on April 20, 21, and 22 at more than 45 pool locations throughout Northeast Ohio.
