Welcome to my Tour de Cure page! I am asking you to support me in the Tour de Cure because finding a cure for diabetes is urgent and personally means so much to me, and below is a poem I've updated each year as a reminder of "Why I ride". For over 30 years, Tour de Cure has helped impact communities nationwide and I’m riding to support the over 34 million Americans living with diabetes. Help Me Reach My Goal! When you donate you make an immediate impact:
- You spread awareness of the devastating effects of diabetes.
- You advocate for a child with diabetes to have the same learning opportunities at school.
- You fund life-saving research that will bring us closer to a cure.
- You provide access to community programs and free resources that help those living with diabetes.
By participating in the Tour de Cure, I hope to inspire others to join me in this vital mission. Thank you for making a generous donation to this cause that is so important to me.
John Logeman - Why I Ride - 2022
I ride as a sign of my relentless pursuit of a cure for diabetes. And until then,
I ride as a sign of my relentless pursuit to help others manage diabetes to - create a world without limits - for themselves.
I ride because I pray I will never know what it is to have diabetes, and because I have family members, friends and colleagues living with diabetes. For their sake and for all those stricken with this disease,
I ride because garnering donations annually can help those who know this disease so intimately fight it better, stronger, faster.
I ride because I can.
I ride because of a greater calling to help others.
I ride because 364 days a year professionally, my focus is patients first by discussing pharmaceutical and medical device products with Healthcare Professionals & Customers to beat the business competition & and improve healthcare outcomes.
But for THIS day, there is ONLY ONE COMPETITOR – diabetes – and we are all united in the fight.
I ride because this event is a connector. It is a common denominator that pits us all against a disease that should be no more.
I ride because I did not ride for 9 years of my healthcare career. And in 2011, for the first time, I did. And it changed me. I realized it is too fun, too important, and too easy to engage. No excuses.
I ride for the many friends and colleagues, and now family, whom I know have battled this disease – some are winning and continue the fight. Some are not and continue the fight. Some we have lost, very sadly, and their families continue the fight. Therefore,
I ride!
Relentlessly,
John Logeman
