Tour de Cure at Lakewood Ranch

Event Chair, Ed Levins of Village Bikes, would like to announce the Tour de Cure on Main Street, April 1, 2012!

We are excited to have the Tour de Cure at Lakewood Ranch, for the second consecutive year.  Since Tour de Cure started twenty one years ago, we've raised millions of dollars to fund research, provide services, and give voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. We have accomplished much, but as the number of Americans diagnosed with diabetes continues to rise, our mission becomes even more critical. Every dollar you raise and every mile you ride helps the American Diabetes Association in the effort to Stop Diabetes.
