This year TeamOne at the moment has 5 Early Bird Champions (Diana, Jodel, Kenesha, Shawn and Z) for Diabetes in the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Lake Nona Tour de Cure and still working on others!
There are movers and shakers on this team who are local or have traveled from far to assist. We would like to extend a hearty thank you to those riders (Bob, Tom & Liam) who arrived from the northeast. Tom became a champion in 2 days after the reception and threw down the challenge to do more to all other team members. Bob became a champion and accepted the challenge, raised it by being instrumental in creating 7 more Champions. We ended up with 14 Champions for the Lake Nona Tour de Cure campaign.
