Ride for Jules
Marty Miserandino's Mom Julie
I recently accepted the challenge of cycling in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure fund-raising event, Ride for Jules, on March 7, 2009. I have joined thousands of others to pedal in support of the Association's mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
In particular, Ride for Jules honors my friend Marty Miserandino's (co-owner of Fit Werx 2) mother Jules, who passed away from complications arising from diabetes. This is also personal to me, as several members of my family suffer from this disease.
I am trying to raise $1,000 by March 7th...a daunting goal! So I am asking you to help by supporting my fund-raising efforts with a donation. I know these are trying times, so even if you can only five $5 or $10 I will really appreciate it! And if the time isn't right for you, you can still be a huge help by passing word on to your friends and family. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in the lives of more than 23 million Americans who suffer from diabetes and over 57 million people in the United States with pre-diabetes.
It's fast and easy to support this great cause - you can make your donation online by selecting this link: http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=personal&fr_id=5561&px=4577777 When you visit my page, you can also click the link to our team page, where you can learn more about the incredible woman that Jules was. Any amount, great or small, helps in the fight against this deadly disease. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
If you want to do even more to help, please consider joining me in this great event. Our efforts will help set the pace in the fight against diabetes. More information on the American Diabetes Association, its programs and diabetes in general can be found at the Association's Web site: http://www.diabetes.org/ For more information on Tour de Cure, please visit www.diabetes.org/tour.
Thank you so much!

Let's Do This! It's An Awesome Training Event...
Dear Friends of Fit Werx:
I’m writing to invite you to participate in the “Ride for JULES V” (www.rideforjules.org) indoor cycling spin-a-thon on Saturday, March 7, 2009 which will benefit the American Diabetes Association. If you've already signed up, thank you!
On February 10, 2008 my mother Julie (Jules) passed away from the devastating complications of Diabetes. My mother had to endure Kidney Dialysis three days a week to keep her alive, had multiple by-pass surgeries on her legs to restore circulation, the toes on her right foot amputated and ultimately her right leg was amputated above the knee.
Let me tell you this… If you ever met my mother you would know that she never complained even though she was in constant pain. She was a rock and had a strength I could only hope for.
I founded the event in 2004 to inspire my mother during a tough period and the millions of people who suffer from Diabetes. Do you know that Diabetes kills more people than AIDS and Breast Cancer combined? It’s amazing… I felt the need to do my part and that’s why I’m asking for your help.
In four years the Ride for JULES has raised over $250,000 for the A.D.A. and their signature cycling event the Tour De Cure.
There isn’t a fundraising minimum, but we need everyone to do their very best.
Our goal this year is to raise $100,000
The spin-a-thon is a 3 hour event where you can ride for all 3 hours or 1 of the hours. We’ll have over 100 spin bikes, a DJ playing tunes, plenty of nutrition for the ride and more. It’s an inspiration filled, energy driven event that will motivate and inspire YOU.
Would you like to ride? If so, I’ve attached the registration form for you to fill out and send back to me. Thank you for considering the Ride for JULES and for helping us fight for a cure.
Best Wishes,Marty
