Join the Tour de Cure 2009
Riding, racing, tandem biking, unicyling (not widely recommended), volunteering... there are multiple ways to participate in the American Diabetes Associations Tour de Cure 2009. Whether it is because you have diabetes, or you are an avid cyclist, or because you are looking for a fun filled family activity, the Tour de Cure is a great way to support work and research being done in diabetes prevention and treatment. This event will takes place in 40 states across the US. Last year, 32,000 cyclists were able to raise $13 million! It all starts with your $15 registration (it’s the early bird special and is only available till March 2009 after which it’s $25) and the $150 fund-raising minimum participation amount. The ADA provides a fantastic set of “Top 10 fund-raising tips” to get you started and it covers topics from online fundraising to matching gifts. What are you waiting for? Form a team, join a team, or be a team of one! Visit www.tour.diabetes.org/signup to register for Tour de Cure 2009 in your city! If you happen to live in Silicon Valley, look out for the diaTribe team on June 14th. We always love meeting diaTribe readers.
