This year, for 2010, I have decided to ride for a Cure. More specifically, A Cure for Diabetes. In knowing my family and I, or just Asian Filipinos in general, we are prone to this debilitating disease. A couple personal notes include; my grandmother on my mother’s side passed away when I was in high school due to complications from diabetes, my future father-in-law also deals with this disease on a daily basis, and a friend who lives with it but is able to control it well. Some days are good, some are bad, but I see it everyday and I know that you do. By riding and getting your sponsorship, I would like to help this Association not only raise money but awareness for the cause. There are so many ones out there, but this time around, I’m all for the ADA.
Please support me in riding a 100 mile century ride on April 17, 2010. I figured that I could raise around $500 (up from the initial $150) only because I have about 400 “friends” on Facebook. If they all donate at least $1, or some even $5, I’d reach this goal.
I’ll be posting from time to time here on elijahnicolas.com and/or http://main.diabetes.org/goto/elijahnicolas. By clicking on either the hyperlink or picture above, you can easily help contribute to this worthy cause.
If you want to ride with me & form a team, I’m all for it! Let’s do this together!
