I'm riding a metric century (100 km / 62 miles) in the 2015 American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education, advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax deductible donation to my ride by visiting http://email.diabetessucks.net. My goal is $5500 but any amount is appreciated.
