DESTINATION TRAINING

It is a very good question and one that I would like to explain. Here it is. I don't want people to go through what I went through with having diabetes for twenty years. In addition to my diabetic problems, I witnessed my mother die from the disease. I didn't want to go through the agony of pancreatic cancer. So I decided to get fit and create events that help people, especially families, exercise and have fun. I noticed that in terms of events they are very few that center around diabetes. The American Diabetes Association has fundraising activities such as the Tour de Cure. Therefore, can the the Tour de Cure solve problems associated with diabetes? It's a start, but its not the total solution. The Tour de Cure is an awareness of the disease. The solution is you.

I use Destination Training as a platform to create healthy life style events. The company logo has a symbolic representation of what it takes to be proactive with your life. This logo shows a person that is going up a mountain with a book in their hand. The text represents a destiny that involves training. Everyone knows that training involves knowledge and the execution of that content knowledge through practice. We all know that practice makes perfect. Does it? If you keep practicing the wrong technique, it won't help you obtain your objective. That's why the little guy is carrying the book. Being a continual learner along with the correct method of training (practice), enables the little guy to get up the hill.
Where do you start? Some people go to the gym and work out, and others participate in events that center around outdoor activities which involve running, cycling, and complex sports such as triathlons. They exercise, and basically have fun at outdoor activities that involve their favorites groups. I have chosen to skip the gym and create a system that encourages me to stay healthy so I can circumvent the genetics of diabetes, and make my environment conducive to being proactive with my health.
In order to be successful, you need to hang with people that have the same goals an ambitions that you have. Creating a healthy lifestyle event not only promotes it; I get to live it.

Tour de Cure

Discover Tour

The Tour de Cure is a series of fundraising cycling events held in 44 states nationwide to benefit the American Diabetes Association.

The Tour is a ride, not a race, with routes designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. Whether you ride 10 miles or 100 miles, you will travel a route supported from start to finish with rest stops, food to fuel the journey and fans to cheer you on!

Each Tour de Cure event has its own character and style—from unique starting points to gorgeous scenery and more! Choose your stateand read more about your local Tour. No matter where you ride you'll enjoy a fun day on your bike for a great cause.

Your typical Tour de Cure experience:

Arrive for your check-in time to get your rider number and turn in any donations
Enjoy the breakfast provided and have a stretch before making your way to the starting line
Our Opening Ceremonies will inspire you to have a great ride for a great reason. The Red Riders lead everyone out—they are why we ride!
Take advantage of the full route support provided: SAG cars and motorcycles keeping an eye on the roads to keep you safe; bike mechanics for any equipment issues; full rest stops with food and drink to keep you energized and hydrated
Ride the well-marked and beautiful routes in each community across the nation: from rolling farmland to ocean views, city streets, some serious hills and smooth, flat roads. Every Tour has great routes for you to choose from in various distances and levels for beginners through experienced cyclists.
You’ll be welcomed back across the finish line as a hero in the fight to Stop Diabetes!
Meet up with friends, family or teammates and have a delicious lunch. Enjoy all of the finish line festivities—it’s a party for our participants! Have a massage*, visit our sponsor and vendor booths, listen to the music/entertainment, visit the kid’s zone* if you brought the family, or chat with fellow riders if you came solo. Spend a great afternoon in the company of friends.

*Amenities vary by location; see your local Tour page for details.

In 2013, more than 65,000 cyclists in 89 events raised more than $26 million to support the mission of the American Diabetes Association: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

Many people will participate in the Tour de Cure for the camaraderie and cycling challenge, but the real reward comes in knowing that every mile we ride and every dollar we raise brings us that much closer to stopping this disease that affects over 26 million Americans.

I formed a non- profit company that will be involved in raising funds for diabetes. It will be launched on Blogger starting March 1st. In the mean time I will be posting the following news:

Fund Raising Events
My Meetup Group
Training and educational forums
Why I ride and exercise
How to donate to my cause
My magazine on scoop it

The following post explains why I ride.

On June 22, 1952, I began my journey. It’s been a long road of ups and downs, between events that I could and could not change. The event that took me by surprise was in 1992, when I passed out at the wheel and hit a car head on. I totaled my car and didn’t wake up until a stranger started shaking me from a comatose state. I had to crawl through the window to get out. They took me to the hospital and found out that I had a blood sugar that was slightly higher than 550. I had so much glass in my face; my wife didn’t recognize me at first. For the next twenty years I struggled with diabetes, weight gain, sleep apnea, and a lack of energy. Like most men, we tend to procrastinate about our health. And I was the king of procrastination, when it came to my diabetes.

My health was one item that was almost impossible to change. In order to continue, I knew I had to improve my health and get back on track. I asked God to provide the help that I would need to move forward. My wife supported me throughout this journey. For that alone, I love her dearly. Today, I am 70 lbs lighter, no high blood sugars, and have enough energy to ride like the wind. I asked god, “Why did you help me?” This is what he said.

MY SON-BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME, I DECIDED TO GIVE YOU YOUR SECOND WIND

ENJOY THE RIDE

THIS is WHY I RIDE
