800+ Raised 300k for Diabetes. Awesome.

On Saturday, I rode as part of a group of over 800 cyclists who raised money for Diabetes research in the American Diabetes Association’s annual Tour De Cure event in Redmond, WA. This was the 10th annual Tour in Seattle, and we raised almost $300,000 for the cause.

I ride because I’m at risk for Diabetes and I have family members who have the disease. You should be paying attention because of the staggering public health and civic cause this disease is causing. The takeaway? We should all be trying to move more, eat less, and help people stay physically active.

Here’s an infographic on the cost of Diabetes – it keeps going up.

Take a look – the cost of Diabetes is pretty astounding

There are lots of things you can do with a fiver.

Please donate a fiver (one day’s coffee, a bus ride, a sandwich) to support research to fight Diabetes.

Fight Diabetes.

Diabetes runs in my family. We can eradicate this disease in our lifetime. I’m doing my part by riding in the Seattle Tour de Cure on May 11. I would really appreciate it if you can give what you can to help. Over the last several Tour De Cure events, I’ve raised over $5,000 for Diabetes Research, and I’d like to make that number a lot higher this year.

Please go here and give what you can today.

Update #1 on 4/8 – $1739 raised toward the $2500 goal! This is great progress and I am looking forward to doing even better – if you haven’t already chipped in I would love your support.
