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
