<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">The Madison Area Tour de Cure is this Saturday. To raise money for the<br/>American Diabetes Association, I will be biking 50k. The ADA does a lot of<br/>great work, it funds research for a cure, advocates for against<br/>discrimination against people with diabetes (for example working to<br/>eliminating the pre-existing condition policy in health care), and<br/>educates people with diabetes, their families, and the public about the<br/>causes, care, and complications of diabetes.<br/><br/>Diabetes effects almost every aspect of a person's life and it effects the<br/>people closest to them. Things most of us never think of like eating an<br/>apple or walking an extra mile have to be carefully considered, decisions<br/>of what and where to eat are more complicated, doctors appointments and<br/>blood tests become a part of live, as diabetes can effect every part of<br/>the body from vision to dental infections and gum disease to heart attacks<br/>and strokes, to kidney failure to impotence in men to foot pain and<br/>amputations. When someone's blood sugar is really out of whack, things we<br/>take for granted like driving a car can be risky. Things that are<br/>unpleasant for most of us, like stress, lack of sleep, hormonal changes,<br/>and illness dramatically change the blood sugars of people with diabetes<br/>in somewhat unpredictable ways, causing more ill health and additional<br/>frustration. It is a very hard disease to manage!<br/><br/>There is a strong genetic component of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and<br/>both likelihood of getting Type 2 diabetes and likelihood of complications<br/>among people with diabetes dramatically increases for those living in<br/>poverty. Right now, more and more children (who have little control of<br/>their diets) are growing up with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Yet many<br/>people point the finger and blame people with diabetes for being sick. <br/>The ADA works to combat this prejudice while working to help educate the<br/>public at ways to prevent the onset of diabetes.<br/><br/>Right now there is no cure for diabetes, but with new technologies it is<br/>more and more feasible for people to live more or less normal lives with<br/>less risk of complications than it ever was in the past. The ADA has been<br/>involved in creating these technologies and advocating for access to them.<br/>With your support, we can continue to work towards a cure and improve the<br/>health and quality of life of people with diabetes and their families.<br/><br/>I know these are tough economic times so keep it mind, any amount matters. I<br/>would also be tremendously grateful if you would pass this email along to<br/>family members, friends, colleagues, etc. who you think might be willing to<br/>support the ADA.<br/><br/>Together we can fight this dreadful disease.<br/><br/>Please make a donation to the ADA for my ride:<br/><a href="http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC318018030?px=4770479&pg=personal&fr_id=6874" target="_blank">http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC318018030?px=4770479&pg=personal&fr_id=6874</a><br/><br/>In deep gratitude,<br/><br/>Sarah</span></p>
