The JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes is an adventure of a lifetime. Riders from around the world take on two challenges: raising the critical money needed to fund the research that will cure diabetes and reaching a personal training goal that will prepare them for their destination cycling experience. Participants register for one of several great destination rides nationwide, and then spend the weeks before the ride working with a local Southwest Ohio USA Cycling certified coach and a JDRF fundraising coach to help them reach their goals. Be part of the team that moves us toward a cure with every mile pedaled and every dollar raised. The Ride to Cure Southwest Ohio team is one of the largest across all JDRF chapters nationwide with more than 115 riders.
