The Tour de Garden was held on Saturday, September 18, 2021. Like most mass rides in Florida, started pretty early in the morning. I arrived at 6:30 in the morning, found a pretty great parking spot, and pretty immediately found my teammate, Z, also getting ready for the ride. After [...]
On April 18th, I got together with my teammates on TeamOne from SAIC at the Lake Nona Town Center for the 2021 Tour de Cure. We had decided to ride 30+ miles today, in honor of the 34 million Americans living with Diabetes. It was a pretty typical day for [...]

This was my third Tour de Cure and again, I’m blown away by the generosity of my extended teammates (donors), we fundraised over $1,135 while you helped me in becoming Champion for diabetes a third time!When we started this Tour de Cure year, we had about 14 people signed up [...]
