Crew,
I hope you all are having a wonderful summer and are enjoying your time off from the stresses of the regular semester. I know a lot of you may have gotten this message already, but I really want to get this out to as many people as I can.
I recently accepted the challenge of cycling in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure fund-raising event. The Tour de Cure is a series of cycling events held in over 80 cities nationwide. The Tour is a ride, not a race; it features different route lengths from a family-friendly 10-mile course to a challenging 100-mile journey. 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. My older brother has been dealing with his Type 1 diabetes for 15 years, and I've decided to do this for him.
I am asking you to help by supporting my fund-raising efforts with a donation. 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. Just go to the following site and click "Donate" at the top of the page. I will be riding in the Harmony/Pittsburgh Race on June 21, and you can search for me (Elise Drobish) and make your donation:
main.diabetes.org/site/TRC/TourdeCure/TDC103628030?pg=taf&fr_id=5579&tafInfoId=219157
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: www.diabetes.org
For more information on Tour de Cure, please visit www.diabetes.org/tour.
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Elise
