Support me in the JDRF ride

Everyone wants to believe they can make a difference in the world, and there are many worthy ways to contribute to bettering people’s lives. I have chosen to continue supporting Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by participating in the Ride for Diabetes Research being held at City Hall on September 25th, 2009 . My colleagues at Scotiabank and I will be competing against each other to see who can raise the most money and pedal the most kilometers. This is an amazing event that brings together competitors from many different industries for one day to raise money to fund research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes strikes children suddenly, making them dependent on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is currently funding over 40 human clinical trials – testing drug therapies and cures in people – that is the most ever for diabetes. Testing treatments and therapeutics in people is a clear indication that the pace of research leading to a cure is accelerating. You can help my team reach our goal by pledging me online at:
