Event Highlights
On behalf of the American Diabetes
Association, the North Dakota Area Community Leadership Board, the Tour de Cure
Volunteer Planning Committee and our entire staff, thank you to all 2013 North Dakota Tour de Cure participants and volunteers.
Through
generous efforts, we were able to raise nearly $85,000 in support
of the American Diabetes Association’s research, education and advocacy
initiatives.
With nearly 220 event
participants, the sixth year of our ride was a wonderful success. Twenty-three of our participants were Red Riders riding with diabetes and were treated to a dedicated tent loaded with free SWAG provided by our generous sponsors. Currently, 13 Tour de Cure Riders have already reached Champion status and we encourage more riders to reach the $1,000 fundraising goal.
We hope you enjoyed
the bike ride, music from Jim Rivers Productions, lunch provided by Olive
Garden, the Planet D Family Fun Zone with Games Galore, and so much more. We
are already anxious to begin planning next year’s event!
Mark your calendars for the 2014 Tour de Cure being held Father's Day weekend at Family Wellness Center!
