Racing Against Diabetes Foundation, Inc.	RACING AGAINST DIABETES
DIABETES IS COMING! DIABETES IS COMING!
We have to get everyone training for the race against diabetes!ce against diabetes! We have to get everyone training for the race against diabetes!	One-third of adults in the U.S. are already diabetic or pre-diabetic! The diabetes epidemic is going to ruin tens of millions of lives. —And it will be even harder on the people who love them, than on those who get diabetes. This epidemic must— and can—be stopped! We all know what we should be doing—exercising more and eating smart. Racing Against Diabetes is about how to do that. What’s been missing in exercise and diabetes-prevention campaigns is the importance of support we get and give when we train on a team. We’re all in this together, and we can’t win the race against diabetes alone. —So form a team with your family and friends, and train for the race against diabetes together! We also need to shout our commitment from the rooftops—to commit ourselves, and to recruit others to prevent the epidemic. Please give us your pledge that you’ll train with your team, and we’ll send you an “I’m Racing Against Diabetes” T-shirt, free, to help you shout your commitment! <CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE RAD WEBSITE> Latest RAD News—We just ordered a new version of “I’m Racing Against Diabetes” T-shirts to give you (free!). They add “fine print” on the back about our “team” message, and they’ll be softer than our last version. In other news, World’s Luckiest Man and RAD co-founder Terry dodged another bullet: he crashed at the velodrome, broke his collarbone and a rib and partially collapsed a lung, but his helmet saved his head and neck, and he’ll be back to training in early December ’08. (He’s already working out on a stationary bike.) The best part is that he and Patty raced their bikes at Masters Track Nationals in September (and had a great time), so it’s just the start of off-season now. Good timing! In old news, Patty raced the 2007 RAAM (Race Across America) Solo, as the oldest woman ever to attempt it. Patty packed it in 1450 miles into the race, in Pratt, Kansas, to save her aching knees for another day. A valiant effort in an incredibly tough race! --Terry gave away around 300 “I’m Racing Against Diabetes” T-shirts on the drive home, and made a lot of new friends. We have to get everyone training for the race against diabetes!	Click here to go straight to the “Pledge to Train” form to get a free “I’m RAD” T‑shirt.
