Free Diabetic Supplies

Tour de Cure is a fund-raising event to benefit the American Diabetes Association. It is held in 40 states nationwide. The Tour is a ride not a race. It has routes designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. No matter how far you ride there will be a route supported from start to finish with rest stops, food to fuel the journey and fans to cheer you all the way.

Every cyclist has their own reason for riding that drives them to the finish line. Maybe you have a family member or other loved one with diabetes, or maybe you have diabetes yourself. Some participants join because they love the thrill of riding with so many other cyclists on a great route. Others join because it’s a good excuse to dust off the bike and ride with the family.

Last year, more than 32,000 cyclists in 78 Tour events raised nearly $13 million to support the mission of the ADA: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. Participants this year are attempting to raise money to support research for a cure for diabetes. More than 33,000 other cyclists and volunteers are expected at more than 80 sites throughout the nation this spring.
