Tri to Cure is an event that encourages kids to celebrate the sport of Triathlon while helping other children who are facing the daily challenges of incurable diseases. The 2010 event will partner with Team Type 1.

This year we are encouraging each participant to help make a difference by raising $100. It's as simple as partnering with 10 people for $10 each. $100 can help send a child with Diabetes to camp, buy one month supply of insulin or teach one family how to overcome the daily challenges of Diabetes. Please consider going the extra mile to make a difference. If you do take this fundraising challenge please bring your donations with you to packet pick up. All donations should be paid to Team Type 1.
