Hello Friends & Family - thanks for checking this out.  I’m taking part in the 2026 ODRAM, and have been logging a lot of bike miles this year in hopes of completing this ride.  Appreciate any donations you can make, regardless of the amount or just encouragement to go the distance!   
 

Kind Blessings,
Mark

Welcome to my ODRAM - Breakthrough T1D fundraising page!  

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.

Breakthrough T1D (formerly 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. 

I have been hard at work training and fundraising, and your gift today will propel me toward the finish line. Please donate and help Breakthrough T1D achieve its goal of a world without T1D. 

Please check back to view my fundraising progress as my ODRAM weekend approaches. Thank you for your support.
