Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Haute Route Pyrenees is a huge challenge involving lots of HC (hardest, longest, highest) road cycling climbs in the region.  It is 7 days that will require a huge amount of effort before I even get there and even more for the race itself.  I do hope you can help make it really worthwhile in any way you can.  I am taking on this challenge in support of Team Type 1, the largest diabetes and sports organization in the world. TT1 is comprised of more than 170 world-class athletes all living with type 1 diabetes. Their vision is a world without the common stigma that those with diabetes can’t chase their dreams.

TT1 programs serve the current need of those with diabetes, based on where they live and their access to healthcare. Team Type 1:

· Provides college scholarships and leadership training to student-athletes with type 1 diabetes. Funds also off-set the increasing cost of diabetes supplies and insulin in the States

· In Rwanda, TT1 continues to provide life-saving diabetes supplies and education to those who would otherwise suffer debilitating complications and early death from diabetes.

· At the global level, advocates for equal and affordable access to diabetes supplies for everyone with diabetes



Please join my efforts to save the lives of those with diabetes around the globe and change the perception of what it means to live with this incurable disease. No amount is too small.
