I need your help and encouragement – I signed up for the Chicagoland Tour de Cure to raise funds to fight diabetes, and raise awareness too.

I'm riding 35 miles, and I'm behind in my training! I rode 17 miles last Saturday, and it really hurt. Will you challenge me to get on the bike? Will you help me get my butt in gear? I need to ride at least 25 miles comfortably this weekend to be able to finish the ride easily in June.

My husband +David Gibbs is the captain of Team Red Chicago, help me make him proud.

I'm going to raise my goal to $1000, already halfway there. Just need your support – any amount is great, any words of encouragement even better!
