Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
Team Cara is a collective of mad people who are doing their first long distance bike ride from London to Paris in three days as part of JDRF’s 2009 Challenge Events. For more information on the cycle, click this link.
To date, our team consists of Mac Bagheri, Consuelo Fernandez, Mike Hellens, Greg Janetos, Omid Kamshad, Ulf Wissen and myself, Bruce Steinberg.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life threatening condition which has a life-long impact on those diagnosed with it. JDRF is the world's leading funder of type 1 diabetes reseach and the only charity dedicated solely to finding the cure. Three years ago, Cara, our 9 year old daughter was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic and since then we have met many children who are bravely dealing with their condition as researchers around the world, many funded by JDRF, try to find better ways of managing the illness and hopefully a cure. There has been good progress to date, but JDRF needs our help to continue the work.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
We need to raise over £25,000 so please sponsor us now!
Thanks very much
Mac, Consuelo, Mike, Omid, Greg, Ulf and Bruce
