It’s that time of year again! I can’t believe the Burlington JDRF is only 14 days away! Only two weeks until I’m pedaling around Vermont with 300 of the biggest allies in my fight to turn type one diabetes into type none.
The last three years of the #40for14 campaign have yielded amazing results from my friends and family. So we’re back again this year for Round No. 4! The goal is easy… to raise at least $40 a day for 14 days straight. The donations go directly to JDRF (here’s the link), and I publicly praise you and send some social media love your way for owning that particular day’s $40 mark.
Don’t have $40? That’s OK, too. Donate what you can, and friends will help meet the $40 goal by the day’s end. It’s a success all the way around because you support a great cause, and I gain momentum just before I set off on a 100-mile quest in Vermont.
What you don’t realize is those pedals don’t move themselves. When I’m tired. When my blood sugars aren’t cooperating. When I’m climbing a hill. Your donations and your encouragement are what gets me through. I cannot do this without YOU, and we certainly can’t cure type 1 diabetes without each other.
So who’s up first? Will it be you?
