| 2007 Tour de Cure (Photo credit: blossominc) |
- We have challenged ourselves to do a 40-mile ride on a day that's expected to be 85 degrees. Enough said. (Mom, there will be medics everywhere and I will not get hit by a car.)
- My wonderful husband has struggled for the last several years to recover from a botched surgery that damaged the nerve function in his leg. It's impacted his quality of life (as a former runner), made walking difficult, caused him to gain weight, and most importantly, zapped his confidence and self esteem. I signed us up for the Tour de Cure in January as an incentive for us both to get in shape. To date, he's lost 20 pounds and I've lost 7, and this past week he rode more than 100 miles in preparation for Sunday! Way to go, Honey!
- We are doing the ride in memory of Dave's mom, who endured the effects of diabetes for more than 20 years.
We hope you'll consider making a donation to help us stop this devastating disease.
Thank you!
Robin and Dave Taney
