Finger Lakes Tour de Cure participants gear up for diabetes cycling fundraiser

by Karen Edwards

Henrietta, N.Y. (WHAM) — The Finger Lakes Tour de Cure isn't for another six weeks, but riders have been pedaling forward to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.

Training is already underway for the June 8 cycling fundraiser . One of the final indoor training rides was held at IslandFit on Commerce Drive in Henrietta

"We've got to give back to the community, right?" posited IslandFit Co-Owner Eke Aiono. "If I can help people prepare for the tour, that's great! It's all helping each other out."

Aiono has been a tour rider for about 15 years. He rides for his sister and late mother, who were both diagnosed with diabetes.

"I think we all know somebody who's affected by diabetes," he said.

Tour Chair Todd Buzard has been riding since 2018.

"There are millions of people in New York State alone who have diabetes," Buzard said. "There are millions of others who don't know they're pre-diabetic."

For Buzard, the disease also hits close to home. He's been riding with his teen son, Ryan, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 8.

"He's my main 'why' and my main reason, but I also just want to make life better for everyone who lives with diabetes," Buzard explained.

The father-son duo are just two of hundreds of people who are raising money and awareness in the fight to end diabetes.

"It's really important to me because all these people want to support people and they have their own reasons why," said Ryan. "So, it's just really important to know that there's people who really want to cure this disease."

As they prepare to take their training to the next level, they say they are ready to hit the pavement.

"This is one of the most favorite things I do all year long," said Todd Buzard. "I tell my family all the time."

"It feels great because there are a lot of likeminded people around you so it's a lot of fun," said Ryan.

There's still time to sign up, join the tour and raise money for the American Diabetes Association .

Support my fundraising for Tour de Cure 2024

04.26.2024 by William Lam // Leave a Comment

It has been a LONG time since I have done any serious cycling, especially with two younger kids, I no longer have the luxury of riding for hours across the beautiful trails in the bay area. With that said, I have always had an itch to get back to some riding, mostly for recreational purposes, which is actually how my cycling journey began.

I recently came to learn that our VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) product leader, Paul Turner, is participating in an upcoming Northern California Tour de Cure to fundraise for the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and a VMware by Broadcom team had also been setup. At first, I was just planning to donate to this awesome cause, but then I realize this might be a good reason for me to get back into "some" cycling and I have decided to join team VMware by Broadcom!

For the 2024 Tour de Cure fundraiser, I have set a slightly loftier goal to raise $10,000 for the American Diabetes Association and I would like to ask for your support in helping me reach my goal by donating to this cause:

• Donate Here 👉 https://tour-diabetes.donordrive.com/participant/William-Lam

For those that donate, please check whether your employer provides any type of charitable matches, which would make your donations go even further! In fact, for any VMware by Broadcom employees who donate, I recently learned that we have a matching program up to $5K for 2024 and you an request a match going to the CyberGrants tile internally within our self-service application web portal to apply for a match for this or any other charitable donation you have made.

Thank you in advance to everyone who donates and if you are in the Northern Bay Area, feel free to join Team VMware by Broadcom and I will definitely be sporting my VMware Cycling Kit ! 🚵

Diabetes epidemic affects 700,000 people in Hampton Roads, survey says

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — An epidemic is the widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community. That is what diabetes has become—it affects more than 38 million people in this country.

Jen Lewis wanted to know why that is and find out how diabetes is impacting our area.

According to ODU’s annual Life in Hampton Roads survey, diabetes is one of the most selected health challenges facing our region, with more than 700,000 people diagnosed.

Dr. Bonner is a local doctor of internal medicine who specializes in diabetes. Jen went to see him to ask why diabetes is so incredibly rampant.

"More and more people, including children and teenagers, are becoming overweight and obese," he said. "This is the primary factor driving the diabetes epidemic."

Dr. Bonner also blames a sedentary lifestyle on the increasing number of type 2 diabetes diagnoses, which can be brought on by genetics or lifestyle, or both.

Dr. Bonner says proper diet and exercise can turn things around.

"We’re talking about making major lifestyle changes that are permanent so that the diabetes can potentially be put in remission, and that’s the good news about diabetes," he said.

Oftentimes, however, diabetes symptoms go unnoticed or ignored, resulting in a possible life-threatening situation. Cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and complications with eyes, feet and skin are just some of the symptoms that can arise when diabetes is not taken care of.

What’s scary is right now, more than 7 million adults are walking around with diabetes and they don’t even know it, according to the CDC . So, screening is the key.

"Everyone at risk should be screened," Dr. Bonner advised. "If there is a family history, individuals should be screened. Individuals who are overweight should be screened. And as we age, we should be screened periodically for diabetes."

Shingles 101: What is it and what do you do if you have it?

Screening can be done at your primary care doctor’s office. Eastern Virginia Medical School holds free community screenings in partnership with the American Diabetes Association and the ADA has an online risk test that can be used as a primary screening tool. You can find it here .

These tests typically identify type 2 diabetes. A smaller percentage of the population, 5% to 10%, has type 1, the CDC says.

Matt Diggs, who lives in Portsmouth, has been living with diabetes for 20 years. He was diagnosed with type 1 when he was 14 years old.

Type 1 is an autoimmune disease and those with it have to have insulin to live. Matt also monitors his diet and sugar levels and regularly shares his story with others.

"I just wanted to be an inspiration to younger kids that were diagnosed with diabetes," he told Jen. "I just try to show them that they can still live a fulfilled life with the disease."

Matt is also an avid cyclist who has been riding in the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure for 10 years. His team, The Justice League, is inspirational too.

"The Justice League started because we wanted to be this superhero group that came in and rode in the tour. And when we first started doing it, we were wearing costumes," he said. "It was just a fun thing to do."

They’ll be riding together again this weekend in the Tour de Cure.

Tour de Cure is this Saturday, April 27, at Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield. Participants can cycle 10 miles, 30 miles or 100 miles, and all funds raised go to the American Diabetes Association’s efforts of advocacy, education and research. To register, click here .

My Tour Center

The Tour Center is an incredible tool that provides riders the ability to raise funds online, communicate with friends and family on why they ride through email and Facebook, check their fundraising progress, access training tips and utilize our incredible fundraising tools

Why Fundraise Online?

Online fundraising is a great way to reach out to your friends and family and give them the opportunity to support your efforts. Online fundraising tends to bring in four times the amount that offline fundraising does. Additionally, people that give online tend to give higher donations (because they can give what they want to, rather than just what is in their pocket at that time). That means that this is a great way to fundraise and reach new goals.

Please first login to access your tour center.
