So why a marathon? Team Diabetes is a program that supports the training efforts of people like myself in return for a commitment to fundraising. In my case, I will work with the Denver office of the ADA to raise $4500.00 over the course of a year and they will provide me a team trainer and will pay for the travel expenses to my marathon of choice, the Maratona di Roma in Italy. ;
Thanks so much for your support!

Team
Diabetes will help me to:
1. Support research for a cure to diabetes.
2. Provide a tangible way for me to support and stand with my nephews in this fight for health.
3. Train safely for my own health goals. Type 2 diabetes is preventable through healthy living. Exercise is one of the best ways to stay out of trouble!
4. Go to Rome!
I
can almost taste the authentic food now. In case you are wondering about percentages, the maximum funds used for administration and travel are 35% of a Team Diabetes minimum goal, and I intend to go well beyond the minimum goal. The minimum that will go towards ADA directly on behalf of my run is $3, 250.
