Training for our 2016 Ride to Cure Diabetes season officially kicked off in April and we are thrilled to announce that this year’s team is our biggest to date! Georgia has 77 riders participating in various events throughout the country, including 30 brand new riders and 18 T1D riders, with a goal to raise $225,000. We look forward to a great season ahead and to sharing more Ride success stories with the Breakthrough T1D community.

Meet our 2016 Ride Committee (bios in link)! Our recent success would certainly not be possible without a very special group of dedicated individuals – our 2016 Ride Committee. Led by Chair Michael Howell and Co-Chair Chris Jayne, this committee hit the ground running in January, executing various recruitment and strategic planning efforts. Their hard work has certainly paid off and we cannot thank this group enough for the commitment and passion they bring to our Ride program.

There’s still plenty of time to join the team! Registration for the 2016 Ride Season is still open, so if you are interested in learning more this incredible program please visit ride.jdrf.org or contact Jennie Ellis at jellis@BreakthroughT1D.org or 770-395-5980. We would love to have you join us as we ride to turn Type One into Type None!
