Welcome Team Lilly!

Lilly has been a global leader in diabetes care since 1923, when we introduced the world's first commercial insulin. For more than 90 years, we have worked to meet the diverse needs of people with diabetes through research and collaboration, a broad and growing product portfolio and a continued commitment to providing real solutions—from medicines to support programs and more.

FUN FACTS!

• For the sixth consecutive year, Lilly Diabetes is joining the American Diabetes Association (ADA) as a national sponsor of the 2018 Tour de Cure. Specifically, Lilly Diabetes will be the national sponsor of the Living Red Platform, which recognizes individuals living with diabetes.
• Tour de Cure is an important fundraiser for the ADA that attracts more than 50,000 riders, runners and walkers across 37 states. Fifty Tour events will take place between March 2018 and November 2018.
• In 2017, Lilly employees, their families and friends joined together nationwide to form 71 teams with 850 team riders and volunteers, helping to raise over $175,000 for people with diabetes.
• Since 2013, Lilly Tour Teams have raised nearly $1,100,000.
• In 2018, Tour de Cure events will offer a variety of cycling routes, a 5K run and a 5K walk.

ALL EMPLOYEES ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND!
FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN!

Lilly employees from throughout the company and across the United States are encouraged to form or join a team. Friends and family members of all ages are welcome to participate. Tour de Cure provides a unique opportunity for participants to:

• Connect with each other, through a fun and healthy activity, whether cycling, running or walking; and
• Connect with the diabetes community, by supporting the ADA and the millions of people whose lives are affected by diabetes.

The Tour de Cure offers a variety of bike ride options, with routes for everyone—from kids and adults, beginning riders to seasoned cyclists. This is the only national cycling event that reaches both the occasional rider and the serious cyclist.
