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!
