Tom Stormcrowe otherwise known as The Amazing Shrinking Man is doing the Tour de Cure Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 14. He has lost over 350 pounds! He is very close to his goal of raising a $1,000 for the American Diabetes Association. You can help him reach his goal or even exceed it by donating from his page for the ride.
He has diabetes although it’s currently in remission from diet and exercise. He took up cycling to get his weight down. He crewed for me for Race Across America last year. From the crazy hours and gas station food, his blood sugar got out of whack and he ended up needing to leave my crew while we were in Kansas.

This is indeed a good cause. I do the Colorado Tour de Cure every year (except for last year, when I had a conflict), having gotten involved with it for a friend whose young nieces both have diabetes. It’s a great ride for the cyclists, and a great fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association.
I’ll second the call for everyone to please consider giving Stormy a donation for his ride. He’s come a long way in his own personal fight against diabetes, having lost hundreds of pounds, embracing the cycling lifestyle, and having thrown his diabetes into remission. Ride on, Stormy!
