This October in Death Valley, about three hundred bike riders from across the country will participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Ride to Cure Diabetes.  I will be one of them.

I rode 50 miles in Death Valley last year.  This year I intend to go past that mark.  

I started taking my bike on long trips when I was in college as a way to control my diabetes and for enjoyment.  When I was in my twenties, I began riding to raise money for diabetes education and research.  It has been 45 years since I learned I had diabetes.  The treatment of diabetes has improved amazingly in those years.   But that is not enough.  I do not want any more children to get diabetes.

Can you help my efforts with a donation of any amount?  Donations to JDRF are tax-deductible.
