Tour de Cure



Go team at Tour de Cure tomorrow! Denise Anderson and ‘Diabetes Outlook’ author, Quinn Nystrom, will be riding rain or shine on June 6th. The team has been raising money for month’s for Diabetes.

The event so far has raised over $100,000! Wow!! That money is sure going to make a difference in the fight against diabetes. Quinn is a speaker following the ride.

I will be making a shirt for this 25 miles bike ride next week. I’d like to put names of people who have diabetes on my shirt. Please come find Denise this week to get your name or someone else you know put on the shirt. I can’t wait to report back on this fun event!

Also on the diabetes home front, our usual author, Quinn Nystrom, is busy preparing for the event of the year...Miss Minnesota. The competition takes place over two days (June 19-20). Her platform is "Educate to Alleviate - Curing Diabetes One Step at a Time."

Quinn was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes at the age of 13 and her younger brother was diagnosed with the disease at the age of four. She has dedicated her life to doing everything in her power to help find a cure for diabetes. She believes that by educating the community you can not only help erase ignorance but gain more volunteers who can help raise money to find a cure.

We wish her the BEST of luck and will all be cheering for her back at Serenity. May the Lord bless her with grace, confidence and poise for the competition. We all love you, Quinn!
