This coming Sunday, I'll be participating in the
Tour De Cure cycle in Napa Valley...
I'm trying to raise money for my team and so here I am, shamelessly using my blog to solicit for donations.
Make a contribution, however big or small,
here!
Some facts
about the disease:
-- The incidence of diabetes has increased by 61 percent since 1990 and continues to rise at an alarming rate.
-- More than 20.8 million Americans have diabetes-including more than five million who don't even know it.
-- An additional 54 million people have pre-diabetes, putting them at great risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
-- One out of every three Americans born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes.
-- More than $132 billion direct and indirect healthcare costs are attributed to diabetes (2002 statistics).
thanks for your support!
