TOUR DE CURE
We are so proud of Dan and his effort to ride and earn money for the cure of diabetes. He joined over 1000 other riders on June 9 who rode from Brigham City out and around to Tremonton, Garfield and back to Brigham City. All together Dan rode 80 miles and he raised $175.00 for the cure. Thanks to all our family and friends who helped with this cause.
Dan was given a special jersey that read "I Ride With Diabetes" and when he crossed the finished line he was given special recognition as being part of the "Red Riders". This was a great time for Dan in more ways than one. Having diabetes has been emotionally challenging for him and he called this his coming our moment and accepting his illness and openly talking about it. We are so proud of Daniel in more ways than one
(This is Dan crossing the finishing line.)
To celebrate afterwards, we took him to Maddox for a huge portion of protein. It was a great day!
