I received an email from Rebecca at Team Diabetes. Here it is:
Hello!
I am wondering if it would be possible to have some information about Team Diabetes included in your next club newsletter or posted on your website or blog?
The reason that I ask is that Team Diabetes is participating in the Whistler GranFondo and are looking for people who are interested in supporting a great charity while they ride in this exciting event. I fundraised and rode as part of Team Diabetes in the Test of Metal last year and can attest that riding in support of the diabetes cause is very rewarding as we all know someone who has been impacted by the disease. The extra cheers you get from the spectators to help get you to the finish line are pretty good too!
If you are able to help us out, below is a write up about the event and how they can find out more information.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to your reply either way.
All the best,
Rebecca Taylor
