ND Diabetes Assoc. Tour de Cure

Posted: Updated:

Saturday morning's gray skies didn't keep bikers away from the fifth annual Tour de Cure. The North Dakota American Diabetes Association put on the event in Fargo. About 200 riders took part in the 16, 32, 75 and 100 mile rides. Their goal was to raise $80,000 for the American Diabetes Association. The money will go to diabetes research, children's programs and awareness efforts. Nearly 50,000 people in North Dakota have the disease. $26 million...nationwide. The CDC says if trends continue, 1/3 of children born in the year 2000 or later will be diagnosed with diabetes.
