Quick Shot

Join LLE in the 2019 Tour de Cure, Saturday June 8 2019 in Webster, NY. The Tour is not just a cycling event; it has a 5K family fun walk, a 5K timed run, and cycling routes of 15, 25, 40, 62 and 100 miles. There is something for everyone, adults and children. Last year Team LLE had 25 cyclists, rode a combined 1100 miles, and raised an astounding $10,250. This year, the goal is to double the number of participants to 50. Every 19 seconds someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with diabetes, and 1 in 11 people will face this diagnosis in their lifetime. The money raised from the event goes to the American Diabetes Association, supporting their three pillars; Research, Education and Advocacy. LLE Team Captain, Jim Butler, will be presenting an S&T talk about the event on Friday February 22 at noon in the Coliseum.
