Tour de Cure 2009 Columbia, SC
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all my sponsors! I am in!
Now, my goal went up from $150 to $500. The ride is a month away, so who knows, maybe I'll make it to "Bronze Pedals"

Now for the cookie cutter letter...(or save yourself the long read and go directly to the page above and become a sponsor :)
Dear Reader:
This June I’m going to do my first Tour de Cure ride. I’m going to ride my bike 100 km. in one day as part of the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure. Participating in this ride is important to me.
With funds raised by this event, the American Diabetes Association will be able to support more research to find a cure and provide more education on how to prevent diabetes or live better with diabetes. I’m amazed when I think of the number of people in our country who have diabetes—more than 23 million!
I’m participating in Tour de Cure because the more I’ve learned about diabetes, the more I’ve felt that it is important to get involved. This is one way that I can help. I’ve accepted the challenge to get in shape and go the 60 mile distance in addition to raising funds for the American Diabetes Association.
I’m writing to you because I’d like you to join me in the fight against diabetes – not as a rider, but as one of my sponsors. I’ve set a personal goal of raising $500. Would you please consider supporting my efforts and the vital work of the American Diabetes Association with a gift of $50? Your contribution is tax deductible and will help the Association continue to lead the fight. Please visit the web page above to make a contribution with a credit card.
Thanks so much for your help. Together we’ll make a huge difference in the lives of people affected by diabetes.
Sincerely,
José Carlos
P.S. The deadline for me to turn in donations is 6/12/2009. The sooner I can collect contributions, the sooner the American Diabetes Association can put that money to work.
