Welcome to my New England Classic Charity Bike Tour fundraising page!
The New England Classic Charity Bike Tour (NEC) is a 100% volunteer run and managed non-profit with a mission to support research, education, and awareness aimed at treating and curing diabetes. To learn more about us, please visit www.newenglandclassic.org.
This will be my 18th multi-day cycling tour in support of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). I continue to support the NEC because I believe in its mission. My 2026 objectives include:
· Raising $4,000+ in support of the ADA’s Camp Carefree and diabetes research.
· Volunteering to ensure a successful NEC for the ADA, my fellow volunteers, and my fellow fundraising cyclists.
· Cycling 330+ miles over four days (new format in 2026)
You can also support the ADA and NEC’s goals without pedaling the miles yourself! When you donate, you make an immediate difference by:
· Spreading awareness of the devastating effects of diabetes.
· Advocating for a child with diabetes to have the same learning opportunities at school.
· Funding life-saving research that will bring us closer to a cure.
· Providing access to community programs and free resources that help those living with diabetes.
I’m asking you to support the NEC for the ~ 38 million Americans living with diabetes (combination of diagnosed and undiagnosed). Diabetes does not wait, so finding a cure is urgent and now is the time to help.
Thank you for your support and help in fulfilling the NEC’s mission.
