Mari Ruddy, is the founder of the Red Rider Recognition Program and the original Team Red of the Tour de Cure. Mari has lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 31 years, she was diagnosed when she was 16. Mari?s  father was diagnosed with type 1 when she was 1 year old, thus, technically, she has lived with diabetes her entire life. In addition to Mari and her dad having type 1, Mari?s  brother was diagnosed with type 1 when he was 20. And Mari?s sister married a man with type 1. Yes, there?s a lot of diabetes at every family gathering!

When she was 39, Mari found out she had breast cancer, for the first time. Because Mari liked the healing power of being celebrated as a cancer surviving athlete, Mari realized people with diabetes needed to feel that healing love too.

That prompted her to start the Red Rider Program for cyclists with diabetes now used at over 85 Tour de Cure events put on by the American Diabetes Association. She founded the Red Riders to celebrate the challenges and hard work it takes to live well with diabetes.

When she realized the cyclists needed support to do the Tour de Cure successfully with their diabetes, she founded TeamWILD which provides expert integrated athletic, diabetes, nutrition and mental skills coaching in cycling, triathlon, running and walking. TeamWILD is for people with diabetes who want to take charge of their health by seeing themselves as athletes first.

Other things: high school principal, executive coach, amateur athlete
