I’m taking part in the 2019 One Day Ride Across Michigan in honor of Emma Moreland, to raise money for JDRF, the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.  Feel free to donate, but do not feel obligated. I will ride the 148 miles across Michigan for her regardless, and will dub this the Sweet & Salty Ride to celebrate her, with pictures of her sweet and salty disposition on my back. 

Did you know T1D:

- Strikes both children and adults suddenly and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. 

- Occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin is essential to turning food into energy. 

 - Requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose testing, and lifelong dependence on injected insulin.

JDRF is working every day to change this. And every dollar I raise helps them continue to bring life-changing therapies from the lab to the community until a cure is found. 

Thank you for your support!

Dennis Blockland
