please help me!  :icon_razz: , i have signed up to participate in the tour de cure, a cycling event of the American Diabetes Association, to raise funds for research and education, for this event, ihave committed to ride 150 miles from roane state community college  in oak ridge tn to lincoln memorial university.diabetes is the 5th deadliest disease in the USA and each year kills more than AIDS and breast cancer combined, ( directly anmd indirectly. with this i have accepted 2 important challenges. 1 is to get my sorry a$$ into shape, for this, and the other is tosupport teh ADA in their fight.both these goals are worthy of my best efforts and i hope i can count on the GSTWIN community for their sponsorship help. the way i have this figured out is through checks and Money orders. made out to the American Diabetes association, sent to me, and i take to them in person. pm me for more info . thank you in advance :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
