This morning Esther and I signed up for the Tour de Cure, a national series of rides to raise money for diabetes. We are riding 65 miles on April 21st, which dovetails nicely into our fitness/diet/healthy routine. We now have a goal to work for in our fitness program. I have said that I will raise $500.00, which is not going to be easy.

Consider this my ask to you, blog reader. If you can spare the cost of a venti Starbucks Latte, you could help me raise the money to fight diabetes.
