Welcome to our Tour de Cure team page!
We are determined to reach our goal one rider at a time. Last year, our team came in 2nd place, raising $11,770 for this worthy cause!
Why Ride?
On behalf of the millions of Americans with diabetes and their families and friends, we are counting on you to help our team make a difference! The funds we raise will support the American Diabetes Association’s important research, information and advocacy efforts and its mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
Have Fun!
If you choose to ride with us, you’ll get to take part in a fun, exciting, healthy event for the whole family! You can even invite friends and family to join us! Every rider counts!
Support our Team!
Support our team by making a donation, or join our team and ask your family and friends to ride with you! We can’t do it alone!

About Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors appear to play roles. There are 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes, a disease that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and AIDS. Diabetes is a disease that has deadly serious consequences, and there is no cure.
