I also think about what ADA's brought to us in the form of Camp Midicha (camp for diabetic kids) & how that's helped Taylor.<BR/>If I do it I'll wear the jersey and grab marketing material from the office. Heck, I could probably sell some jerseys while there!<BR/>I'll let you all know if I sign up.ZipMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352144005637434768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760039092771229406.post-36670733583824632882008-03-24T18:54:00.000-04:002008-03-24T18:54:00.000-04:00Our shop has supported this ride over the years......Our shop has supported this ride over the years.....they seem like nice enough folks and all but I kinda side w/ Tom and Katie if they're agenda is that much different than "ours".

That being said I would not do the "tour De Cure". ADA donates very little money to Type 1 research, roughly 2% of what JDRF donates. Also, if they charge $175 for their ride, I'd rather put that money toward going to Death Valley. That is just my opinion, others feel free to disagree.<BR/><BR/>TomTom Scheidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653127059026411053noreply@blogger.com
