We're Active for life in the Pacific Northwest!

The 2022 Tour de Cure: Pacific Northwest is back in person, and you won't want to miss it! The Tour de Cure is the American Diabetes Association's largest fundraising and engagement event. 2022 will mark 31 years of being connected and riding for a cure! It will also be the first in-person event we've had since 2020, and we can't wait to see you again!

The Tour de Cure celebrates 30 years of bringing communities together to impact the lives of millions living with diabetes. Nearly half of American adults have diabetes or prediabetes, and every 21 seconds, someone in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes. More than 34 million Americans strive to manage their lives while living with diabetes. In Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho Combined, more than 961,000 people live with diabetes. Every mile we ride and every dollar raised brings us that much more support in fighting this disease that affects so many people in our community.

Participation in the Tour de Cure:

Supports programs and education, diabetes advancements in research and advocacy efforts for your community and across the country.
It helps to ensure the year-round execution of our mission and raise awareness of diabetes.
Encourages healthy and active living by supporting those looking to take their first step towards a healthier life, proving day after day that diabetes won't slow them down.
It grows our community of advocates ready to fight our vision of life free from diabetes and all of its burdens.

Diabetes has brought us together. There's nothing we can't do when we're Connected for Life. Thank you for your continued support and if there is ever anything we can do for you, contact us at pnwtour@diabetes.org. The anticipated date for the Tour de Cure is in the late summer (TBA), and it will be held in Seattle.
