I will once again be riding my bicycle to raise funds to help stop and cure Diabetes, specifically for the American Diabetes Association in this year's "Tour de Cure." Over the past three years we have raised $10,000 for this cause. And I hope you can help this great cause once again!
Why am I involved? Diabetes has impacted my family, so when I first heard of this event over four years ago I wanted to enter the 2009 ride. But I was not in the shape necessary as I had just begun bicycling again after a 20+ years hiatus. But now I am in my 4th year of supporting this great cause.
This year I will ride the 100 miles in memory of my friend Tony's dad, who was a Type 1 diabetic. He passed away last summer. Tony was instrumental in getting me back on a bicycle, so this will be a fitting tribute in more ways than one.
These challenging rides are difficult, yet pale in comparison to the difficulties those with Diabetes face every day. If you would like to contribute or just learn more, please go to…
