Help me kick it up for Diabetes!

On May 18-19rd, 2013, I will be riding 220+ miles for Diabetes. (click here to donate) This will be my 4th year in a row, riding for the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure fundraising event. Last year, StampAuctionNetwork users gave over $1,200 to support me in this effort.

This year, I put together a mini auction to benefit the ADA. Droege - Tour de Cure Charity Auction - April 19, 2013 Stamps from A-Z including some mini collections, a germany wholesale lot, and UN. Commercial covers, including some Exporta Lots made up expecially to get you interested, auxilliary markings, some flight covers, coffee covers, special delivery and express covers, All proceeds go directly to the ADA using my American Diabetes Tour de Cure donation page. In most cases, you will get a tax deduction for buying these lots.

This is a favorite riding photo of mine. I am near the top of the Beartooth Hwy pass between Red Lodge, Montana and the North East entrance to Yellowstone. It was June and there were still 5 foot snow drifts carved off the highway and skiers at the top!
