I am riding in support of the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure in honor of my brother who died at a very young age with juvenile diabetes and in recognition of the continuing struggle other family members endure every day to live as normal a life as possible with this disease. 

I am committed to ride and to raise money in this event not just because of the impact on my own family but because 26 million people in the United States have diabetes and they and their families fight the same battles. Please help me start a chain reaction to make meaningful progress in this battle!

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.

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