I absolutely love the fact that I can take something I enjoy immensely and turn it into something that helps others and helps myself.  I obviously enjoy #cycling, and the exercise helps me keep my #diabetes under control, and my involvement with +Tour de Cure helps others by raising money for education, research, and advocacy.

Thanks to a lot of friends & family, including Scott, David, Katie, my brother Dan, and his girlfriend Tami, I'm almost to 80% of my goal of $5000 for the Tour de Cure.

You can help me get to 100% by making a tax deductible donation at http://gp80.diabetessucks.net.
