Tour de Cure

This will be my 5th Tour de Cure. I've ridden the 25 and 65 mile courses, but never the 100 miler. Some day. I am very grateful to my friends and family who have donated over the years and this year I wanted to try and make it so you get something back. Fundraising is not my idea of fun but this particular disease has hit me hard enough that I have overcome my fear of asking for something from people.

I will be holding an online auction for some items that have been donated or homemade stuff from me. There will be a starting amount for each item. Post in the comments what your bid is. If you are the first bidder, you can accept the base price of the item or you can offer more if you want.

When the auction is over, the winner bidder can make their donation for that amount directly to the American Diabetes Association through my Tour de Cure page or send me a check made out to the ADA.

I should also mention that I am riding with my nephew and niece this year (11 & 6 years old). We're doing the 25 miler together. I need to get some pics up to show how ridiculously adorable they are so you'll feel even more generous. Since they are kids, I'm doing most of the fundraising for them. Between the 3 of us, we need to come up with $300 to be able to do the ride.

Also if anyone wants to join the team, you are welcome. If you go to the following webpage, you click on the Join Team link in the box with the team members in it.
