4 Centuries 4 Diabetes Charity Bike Ride

Thanks for visiting the 4C4D web page! To tell you a little about myself my name is Kevin Nead and I am proud to be a student-athlete at the University of Florida. I take both being a student and being an athlete very seriously and in my time at Florida have become an NCAA All-American in swimming as well as an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American. Currently I am in Lille, France conducting research on Type 2 diabetes as part of a six month research grant that I received in the spring. During the period of August 1-4 I will bike for four days and each day will ride over 100 miles, or what is known in the cycling world as a century. Thus the name of the ride: “Four Centuries For Diabetes.” 100% of the money raised will go to the American Diabetes Association. The American Diabetes Association is a non-profit health organization with the mission of supporting the more than 20 million children and adults in the US with diabetes as well as supporting research to prevent and ultimately cure diabetes. For every dollar donated to the American Diabetes Association 78¢ goes directly to helping those affected by diabetes. I hope that you will consider making a contribution to this cause. Any questions or comments can be directed to 4centuries4diabetes@gmail.com and more information on the American Diabetes Association can be found at www.diabetes.org. Thanks for taking the time to look into this project!! More information about myself, the route, and making a donation can be found in later posts
