Team Arkansas is a group of bike riders from both the Arkansas Chapter and the Northwest Arkansas Branch of Breakthrough T1D raising money for T1D research. The Arkansas Chapter had thirteen bike riders participate in the 2015 Burlington, VT Ride, which has raised over $882,648.24! Several members of Team Arkansas have participated in five or more Breakthrough T1D Rides.
The Burlington, VT Ride, one of the premier cycling destinations in the United States, offers “classic New England” cycling on some of the most scenic roads that the state has to offer. The Breakthrough T1D Ride to Cure Diabetes course follows more than 100 miles through historic villages, featuring covered bridges and flowing rivers. Riders were able to take in spectacular views while cycling along a relatively flat course through the pristine Champlain Valley.
To date, riders from the Arkansas Chapter have raised over $200,000 to help find a cure for diabetes. This year alone, they have raised over $60,000!
Team Arkansas is part of the team that moves us towards a cure with every mile pedaled and every dollar raised!
