Why
He's Riding:
I've been active all my life, doing my own thing, to help keep
the diabetes complications down. Exercise is my weapon. When
I met Kim Hale, we decided to start "No Limits Cycling."
I have a story to share and I hope it inspires other to take
care of themselves. Let's get the message out, however we can. |

Enjoys: trail runner, mountain biking, climbing, bouldering,
and bungee jumping.
Job: works at an outdoor store.

Why
He's Riding:
Diabetes is a challenge and it stinks, at times, but I'm going
to overcome it. Diabetes is a cruel disease; if you don't take
care of yourself, it can bite you, in the form of complications
(blindness, kidney damage, limb amputation, etc). I've been
able to do extraordinary things and other people with diabetes
can too. I was excited to do this ride with other people with
diabetes. I want to be inspired and I want to inspire others. |

Diabetes: 8 years
Home: Salt Lake City, UT
Enjoys: cycling, snowboarding, wake boarding, barefoot waterskiing.
Job: medical sales

Why
He's Riding:
I'm riding to show there are "No Limits." I want to
show that every person with diabetes can do anything they want.
Diabetes doesn't have to be debilitating or an excuse. In fact,
diabetes can be a great tool to be the best you can be. |

Job: student, Boise State University

Why
He's Riding:
I met Dave Nevins bungee jumping. I'm here to support and help
the riders. After surviving cancer, I decided I would push myself,
no matter what I put my mind to. If someone says, "That's
not possible," I love to go out and prove them wrong. That's
what "No Limits Cycling" is all about and I'm excited
to be a part of this ride. |

Enjoys: traveling, trying new restaurants, golf, hiking, poker.
|
Why
He's Riding:
I was given the opportunity to work with Kim. I saw the long-term
vision of what this could be. Working closely with the riders
has shown me that suffering from diabetes is a choice. "No
Limts" stands for choosing to live a healthier, better
life. I saw this as an avenue to bring diabetes awareness to
the masses. |
