The first JDRF Ride to Cure is almost here and the JDRF Western Wisconsin Chapter is SO excited! For the second year in a row, Team Western Wisconsin has more than 100 riders, all participating to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D). These riders have been training and fundraising all summer and it’s almost time for our La Crosse and Loveland Honey Badgers to show off all of their hard work. First stop: La Crosse, WI
