Thanks for your support for the Tour de Cure!

On Saturday, March 16, I I'll be riding the 100 mile route of the Phoenix Tour de Cure in the fight to stop diabetes. I have set a personal financial goal to raise $1000. To date, I am at 41% of that goal! Thanks to all of you who have donated! For those of you who haven't, click on the Donate Now button for a 100% tax deductible donation.

Most of you know I've been involved in this for a few years now...each year learning more about the disease and the lives it affects. I'm a grandmother of 7! The youngest being born to my son and daughter-in law last June. I have a very personal interest in finding a cure for this disease. While my grandchildren are very healthy, with healthy parents who practice healthy eating habits, it's frightening to know that one in three children born after 2000 will have diabetes.

I believe in the work the ADA is doing, and I appreciate your interest and involvement in this effort. More than 25 million Americans live with diabetes, and your support can and will make a difference in their lives.

I can't wait for the event to occur, and hope many of you will join me on the ride! It's an amazing inspiration, and so rewarding to see Red Riders (those riding with Diabetes) of all ages out there putting in their personal time and energy to fight the disease.  

Thanks in advance for your support and prayers!
