Hi everyone,

Last year we had a slower year. We did not have as much money or riders as we wanted but this year we are going to pick it up. We are going to have a higher goal and higher amount of riders. Thanks again to everyone who rode or donated in 2012! It would be great if you could donate or ride this year so we can get money to find a cure for diabetes. This is me and my dad's 5th year riding. We're going to keep on collecting money and riding so we can get that much closer to finding a cure.  I'm hoping that some of the money will be used to teach kids my age about diabetes and how to keep from getting it and that the money will also help the people with diabetes to live a better life. It will also help people with diabetes have more rights that give them a fair chance to get good jobs and be happy. Won't you please come and ride with me and tell your friends to join us too.? There is nothing you can do better on that day. The amount of people with diabetes keeps going up every year! Now in America there are nearly 26,000,000 who have diabetes and about 79,000,000 who have pre-diabetes. This is a serious problem for all of us and we need to fix it!! Thank you for listening and considering riding with me. See you in Hillsboro on July 20, 2013!!! Click on "Join Team" at the top of the box with the riders names in it below.
