Welcome to my page for the 2013 Tour de Cure! I have had such great success over the last two years with support from you, my family and friends, that I have decided to increase both my mileage and my fundraising goals for the 2013 ride. On May 18th I will be riding 40 miles to help raise funds and awareness for Diabetes education and research. My financial goal is to raise $400 , that is $10 per mile I ride.

This cause is something I truly care about as it affects both members of my family and some of my dear friends. I am guessing that it plays a role in your life or the lives of your loved ones as well. So I am once again, as I have for the past couple years, asking for any support you can give whether it is a donation, moral support, or joining our team and riding. I cannot do his without you!

Help me educate and promote a healthy lifestyle!!

Sincerely,

Jael

Recently found out that for non-diabetes related health reasons, I should be eating as though I am diabetic. Though I do not have to deal with other aspects of diabetes, this has been an eye opener regarding my diet and excercise habits. For recipe ideas: http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/recipes/ Whether you are able to donate or not, I encourage you to take a look at your own lifestyle. May we all have fewer health issues by creating a healthy base for our lives through good food and activities!
