JDRF Events and Announcements
Riders from around the world take on two challenges: raising the money needed to fund the research for better treatments and a cure for diabetes, and reaching a personal training goal to prepare for a destination cycling experience.

• Multiple fundraising and mileage options
• Training with a certified coach in your local area
• Ride destinations designed for Riders of all fitness levels
You will experience a fun-filled weekend that includes bike seminars, planned excursions, and team building celebrations. It all leads up to the big event…Ride Day!

Helping Kids with Diabetes-
Lilly’s commitment to Diabetes Camps
Summer is a family’s time to relax. Freed from strict schedules, we sail through the weeks visiting friends and having fun. Camping can be a central part of summer’s fun too. Each year, thousands of children with diabetes attend camps associated with groups like the Diabetes Education and Camping Association, where they enjoy traditional camp experiences in a safe, fun environment. Diabetes camps are critical in helping children learn the self-care strategies needed to manage their diabetes for a lifetime. The experience can also lead to the discovery that they can be ‘just like everyone else,’ making their time at camp even more special. That’s why Lilly Diabetes supports camps. For more than 10 years, we’ve been the largest provider of insulin and other diabetes medicines, educational materials, volunteers, scholarships, and special guests. It’s our mission to provide the tools and resources to help children with diabetes and their caregivers while they’re at camp—and long after.
For more information and

The Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes is an educational school fundraising program that raises money to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. While raising money for JDRF, students learn about diabetes and the importance of making healthy choices. The money raised through this program helps fund type 1 diabetes research and provides additional dollars for your school to use on equipment, field trips, books or whatever your school needs!
