FITNESS JOURNAL: Tour de Cure - THE RIDE OF MY LIFE

DONATE AND HELP ME RAISE $200 for DIABETES & I'll BIKE 25 MILES! 

The ride is 6-6-2015

This year, instead of biking Ragbrai, the company I work for is doing Tour de Cure. This is a great opportunity to exercise and raise money for a good cause.

2015 Central Iowa Tour de Cure

Why I Ride...

I am riding because the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure is so much more than a cycling event to me. It is my opportunity to change the future and make a positive impact in the lives of those who are affected by diabetes. I have family and friends affected by Diabetes. 

I am committed to ride and raise money in this inspirational event not because 29 million people in the United States have diabetes, but because I personally know some of them, and I want to do something about it. Won’t you help me start a chain reaction?

Chances are, you also know someone who has been affected by diabetes and you already know how important it is to stop this disease. By making a donation on my behalf or by joining my team, you will be helping the Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.

With your help, we will fight for a future where a parent does not have to hear that their child has diabetes. A future where an adult does not have to face the uncertain times ahead after receiving a diabetes diagnosis. A future where you and I will know that we had a part in making this possible. 

I truly appreciate your support. Together we can Stop Diabetes!

My goal is to raise $200-$1000. If I reach the $200 mark I'll video the race and post it on YouTube. If you can't donate, come show your support!

My team's goal is to raise $1000. Help us reach that goal and help support Diabetes research.
