Tour de Cure Training Rides begin March 1

By Kris Bockmier | Associate Director, Tour de Cure

The Oregon/SW Washington Tour de Cure event will take place on Saturday, July 26, 2014.

Our event takes place at Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro, OR. We have routes ranging from 5-100 miles and they all start and finish in the stadium. Your morning will begin with breakfast and all routes include rest stops, SAG support, motorcycle support and bike shop support. After you cross the finish line you will enjoy lunch, live music and activities for all ages.

To kick off the 2014 year, we will host the first of our training rides on Saturday, March 1 at Sellwood Riverfront Park. All training rides will be posted on our web site at www.diabetes.org/portlandtourdecure, and everyone is welcome.

Tour de Cure is the largest fund raising event for Oregon/SW Washington and the funds raised support diabetes research (including three local researchers at OHSU), education and advocacy.

If you have any questions, please contact Kris Bockmier at kbockmier@diabetes.org or 503-736-2770 X 7355.

By Kris Bockmier | Associate Director

The 2013 Tour de Cure raises $375,000 for diabetes research, advocacy and education!

Thank you to our 1,078 registered riders, their donors and our sponsors for helping Tour de Cure raise $375,000. The funds will help us further our mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

Funds raised support our local programs:

Diabetes EXPO

Held annually at the Oregon Convention Center, EXPO serves over 5,000 community members interested in the latest information on diabetes. While at this free event people have access to screenings, education, healthy eating and active living demonstrations, workshops and “Ask the Expert” consultations.

Safe at School

Last year, 178 schools and 1,333 school personnel throughout Oregon and SW Washington received free Safe at School training to ensure that children with diabetes remain safe while attending school.

Family Link

Family Link connects families who are learning to live with diabetes by providing newsletters, resources, training, parent mentors, and local social and educational events. The Jim Hansen Memorial Symposium is held each year at EXPO to educate and provide the latest information to parents and families of children with type 1 diabetes.

Annual Diabetes Practice Update (ADPU)

Conference held for medical professionals interested in the latest on diabetes care, research and education.

Living with Type 2 Diabetes

Free one-year program for people newly diagnosed with diabetes.

Stop Diabetes @ Work

A free employer hosted workplace wellness program provided by the American Diabetes Association to promote diabetes awareness, detection, management and education.

Your support of Tour de Cure and the American Diabetes Association help make this happen.
THANK YOU!!
