Dear Friend, On June 5-6 2010 I will be joining more than 50,000 fellow riders from across the country in this year’s Tour de Cure to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. I will be gathering donations and cycling to help Stop Diabetes. I've accepted the challenge to train and go the 200 mile distance. I am asking for your help. By making a donation on my behalf, you will be helping the American Diabetes Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. There are 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes, a disease that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and AIDS. If we don't act now, one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime. I know that my participation in this year’s Tour de Cure can and will make a difference, with your support. With the help of people like you, the American Diabetes Association can raise over $16 million to help Stop Diabetes. My goal is to beat the national average pledge of $440 by raising at least 2,000.00. Please help me reach my goal by supporting me for this year’s Tour de Cure. Please go to my Web Page at _http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/RaleighArea?px=5965783&pg=perso nal&fr_id=6858_ (http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/RaleighArea?px=5965783&pg=personal&fr_id=6858) to make a secure, 100% tax deductible donation. If you do not want to donate online, please make your check payable to the American Diabetes Association and include your donation in the enclosed envelope. Please mail your contribution to me at 800 Springfield Commons Drive Raleigh,N.C.27609 Together we can stop diabetes, pedaling one mile at a time. Yours truly, Fernando R. Puente
