Ok Friends,

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. 

This is my first year to ride in this event and I have set a goal to raise $5,000.00 to fund research, develop new technologies to treat and manage diabetes, and ultimately STOP DIABETES!  So I ask you to extend yourself and make the largest donation you are comfortable with making.  Any amount helps in the fight to STOP DIABETES.  I know with your help I will reach my goal. 

Help Make a Difference in the fight against diabetes!

Each mile I ride, and the funds I raise will be used in the fight to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

I am committed to ride and raise money in this inspirational event not because 26 million people in the United States have diabetes, but because I personally know several of them, and I want to do something about it. Won?t you help me start a chain reaction?

Thank you for making a generous contribution to this cause that is so important to me!
