My Life and Feeds I follow

It is that time again. The Tour De Cure is coming and I am once again asking for people to sponsor me.. I am going to bicycle the 100K Challenge ride again.  Last year I ended up walking 2 of the hills and riding up all the others... I am not going to walk any this year!!!    So I am committed to getting in more miles/spin classes in then I did last year.  Keep up to date with my progress with my workout blog to the left.

Now to your part, Diabetes is a growing epidemic in the United States. I see the children at my daughters elementary school and so many of them are  at  increased  risk for diabetes by being overweight. Not only do we need to find a cure but until then we need to get awareness of the dangers of being a overweight and not being active. I am sure you have heard of Juvenile Diabetes, this is not what I am talking about, I am talking about "Adult Onset Diabetes" (Type2) in children.  Parents don't think that they will become a Diabetic  because of their unhealthy living let alone their elementary school child. 

I know that everyone is concerned  with the economy at this time .  Did you stop by Starbuck's today? Planning on going out to eat tonight, this weekend? I am not asking for your paycheck, mortgage payment or even your car payment.  All I am asking is for you not to go out one night and donate that money to fight diabetes .  Here is the link to do just that http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC270418030?pg=personal&fr_id=5027&fr_id=5027&px=1739696 . My Daughter Morgan (9 Years old) is also riding the TDC ,  here is her link http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC270418030?pg=personal&fr_id=5027&fr_id=5027&px=2778353


If you absolutely cannot donate money, how about time?  How about being a Volunteer to help out at your local Tour De Cure ride or dust off your bicycle and join a team ?
