Since September
2005 the "Dallas & Reid's Ride" has raised more than
$200,000 for Juvenile Diabetes research! Our committee is working directly
with The Iacocca Foundation, www.JoinLeeNow.org,
providing funds to new and innovative research which could possibly result
in the hopeful cure of Juvenile (Type 1) diabetes. We are the only
fundraising event in the state of Indiana recognized by the Iacocca
Foundation, and one of just a handful in the entire country! The
Dallas and Reid’s Ride and its committee also sets themselves above and
beyond other charity events and rides by donating every dollar collected
to charity, the Iacocca Foundation.
The Iacocca
Foundation, founded by Lee Iacocca in 1984 after his wife died from
diabetes, has spent the last 24 years supporting diabetes research.
One of those researches, The Nathan/Faustman Research, has cured Juvenile
Diabetes in laboratory animals and will begin FDA approved human clinical
trials this year. At least now there is
hope for a cure for Dallas, Reid and millions of other Juvenile Diabetics!
