JDRF Tour for a Cure Memphis

JDRF Tour for a Cure Memphis This page provides information about the annual Tour for a Cure bicycle ride held in Germantown, TN. Lunch will be served around noon. Learn more about T1D.

The Tour for a Cure bicycle ride is a fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). The Tour for a Cure is a fully supported ride which offers 21, 41 and 62 mile routes in the beautiful countryside of Shelby County. The Tour for A Cure Team will be at The Peddler beginning at 6:30am. Shirts will be available for all riders who registered in time to get one. Snacks will be availa

ble before the ride and at designated SAG stops. SAG vehicles will be on the course for support until the last rider arrives back at The Peddler. JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our strength lies in our exclusive focus and singular influence on the worldwide effort to end T1D. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes both children and adults suddenly. It has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. And, at present, there is no cure. In T1D, your pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone the body needs to get energy from food. This means a process your body does naturally and automatically becomes something that now requires your daily attention and manual intervention. If you have T1D, you must constantly monitor your blood-sugar level, inject or infuse insulin through a pump, and carefully balance these insulin doses with your eating and activity throughout the day and night. However, insulin is not a cure for diabetes. Even with the most vigilant disease management, a significant portion of your day will be spent with either high or low blood-sugar levels. These fluctuations place people with T1D at risk for potentially life-threatening hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes as well as devastating long-term complications such as kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, blindness and amputation.
