Berto Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hey everyone, I'm just putting up this post to hopefully get people to sponsor me for the Tour de Cure. All the money I raise goes to Diabetes research. This hits close to home for me because my girlfriend has Type 1 diabetes. I have pledged to ride the 75k route (longest route available for the Indianapolis stop). I need at LEAST to raise at least $150 to ride. Please if you see the gauge is already passed $150 don't be shy keep donating the more money we raise the closer we are to a cure. No matter how small the donation everything helps. Tour de Cure has made donating very easy by being able to donate online. For more details on the ride and donations please see my 'home page' below. http://main.diabetes.org/goto/Berto Thanks for your time and donations.

TheHaze Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I was thinking of donating to something similar a little while ago. I never got to meet my grandpa because of diabetes. Thanks for what you're doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I forgot to add, the ride isn't until July 14th. So if you don't have money now but still want to donate you have some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Its a TAX write off too. btw my post is sarcasm, I'm just hoping to see some of you jump on it. My wifes Child onset (Insulin type), I know how important a cure is. Berto you see the recent potial cure using stem cells? It worked on over 50% of the test patients. Not all stem cells have to come from featuses eather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomark Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Can stem cells cure spelling problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah there is also another cure I heard of briefly where they take a piece of your kidney and mutate it to a pancreas (insulin gland). The $150 is behind me now so I updated the goal a bit higher. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone. Please don't let the scrolling names with honors scare you away from a small donation. If the scrolling honor roll bothers you just put your display name as anonymous. Thanks again to all that have donated, as Thorne said this is a tax write off, I can PDF a recept for you if you want.
