Sponsor My Ride for the Buffalo Tour de Cure Please

I will ride in the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area Tour de Cure on Saturday, June 5, 2010.  I invite you to ride with me (16 miles), or to sponsor my ride.  You can click here to learn more about the Buffalo Tour de Cure, or to sponsor the ride. 

As of this morning, I am at 69% of my $2,000 fund raising goal.  Help me reach my goal and help the American Diabetes Association support people with Diabetes and find a cure for this terrible condition.

My middle daughter, Bonnie, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 16-years-old.  This is the incurable type of Diabetes, meaning that she is dependent on Insulin for the rest of her life.  There is no cure, and the medical community doesn’t know what causes this type of Diabetes.

When Bonnie was diagnosed, I found the American Diabetes Association, also known as the ADA.  They provided information, and they were there to support our family.  I was so grateful that I decided to ride that year in the annual Tour de Cure bicycle ride fundraiser.  I’ve been riding in it since and have raised thousands of dollars to help the ADA serve Diabetics and their families, and to search for a cure to Diabetes.

The ADA makes contributing easy.  You can follow this link to my Paul McAfee page on the Buffalo Tour de Cure website.

Please consider contributing to the American Diabetes Association.
