Romel and I are hitting the trails in Brighton on June 11 for the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure. We are gathering donations and cycling 25 miles to help stop diabetes! With the monies raised, the American Diabetes Association will be able to provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.
Just a little background on 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. There are 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes (including my mom with type 2), a disease that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and AIDS. And if we don’t act now, one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
To support me and the cause, you can visit my Web Page, to make a secure, 100% tax deductible donation. Go on...visit, donate...no need to be shy :)
