Subject: Please Support My Ride to Stop Diabetes

I am riding in this year's Tour de Cure help Stop Diabetes. I have
joined thousands of fellow riders from across the country in this to
raise money to and further the mission of the American Diabetes
Association: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of
all those affected by diabetes.

I will be riding as a Red Rider. Red Riders are those cyclists who
have diabetes -- a condition I have been living with since 2002.
While my own condition is currently managed with diet and exercise,
many of my fellow diabetics require multiple daily injections of
insulin just to stay alive. All of us need to monitor our blood
glucose levels constantly to prevent complications and/or death.

We are the lucky ones. There are many people living with diabetes who
have not been diagnosed, or who do not have access to appropriate
medical care, or who cannot afford the medications they need to stay
alive (much less healthy).

I am asking for your help. By making a donation on my behalf, you
will be helping the American Diabetes Association change the future
of diabetes by providing community-based education programs,
protecting the rights of people with diabetes, and funding critical
research for a cure.

As you may know, 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. Nearly 24 million Americans are living with diabetes. If
current trends continue, one out of three children will face a future
with diabetes. This is a startling statistic and your donation will
help to change this.

I know my participation in this year's Tour de Cure can and will make
a difference. Please help me reach my goal of $750 by supporting me
with a donation. You can follow the link below to my personal Web
page to make a secure, 100% tax deductible donation.

Together we will help stop diabetes.

Yours truly,
