This year, I’m challenging myself to ride in the New England Charity Classic because every mile can help make a difference for children living with diabetes. I can only ride one day (out of 4), but I wouldn't miss this event for the world!
While this ride will test my endurance for a day, kids with diabetes face challenges every single day—checking blood sugar, counting carbs, and making countless decisions just to stay healthy. No child should have to carry that burden alone.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to turn something I love—cycling—into a way to support an incredible cause. If you’re able, please consider making a donation. Every gift, big or small, helps provide resources, education, and support for children and families living with diabetes.
Thank you for cheering me on and for helping give these kids a brighter, healthier future.
