Congratulations to our 2009 Top Fundraisers!

The Top Teams and Top Fundraisers of the American Diabetes Association are our "Champions for Diabetes"! We are thankful to all of you, our riders and volunteers, who contribute your time and energy to raise money to support the ADA's mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. The funds you raise support the Association's program activities: research, information, advocacy and public awareness.

In America and throughout the world, the incidence of diabetes continues to rise, and our passion to make a difference has never been greater!

On behalf of the ADA and the more than 23.6 million people with diabetes, thank you for everything you have done to raise money for the fight against diabetes!

Congratulations to our Champions!
