Hi everyone

At 7am, Wednesday 13th June - Melbourne time - Team Type 1 will commence the 2007 Race Across America (RAAM) in an attempt to achieve the following:

1) win our division and set a new RAAM record, by completing the race in 5 days, 6 hours

2) promote to all, including type one diabetics out there, that type ones can achieve anything - even win the worlds toughest bike race

3) raise money to support JDRF to find a cure for type one diabetes

Riding with Team Type 1, Monique will depart the coast of San Diego on June 12 and alongside seven other type one diabetics, will ride continuously until they reach their destination of Atlantic City, some 4,900km away.

Team Type 1 aims for RAAM are threefold: to complete the challenge as the fastest team, promote awareness of the importance of good diabetes management, and raise money towards finding a cure for diabetes.

Hi everyone

Just a short note to thank you all for your messages of support.  This has been my first chance to check email since departing Oceanside on Tuesday arvo.

A team of eight diabetics will start this year's Race Across America on June 11 with high aims. Team Type 1 plans to win the eight-rider division of the non-stop coast-to-coast race in record time, and along the way "to prove to the world that type-1 diabetics can do anything, without restriction," as team member Steve Holmes put it.

As well as its race goals, the team is working towards raising US$1 million for the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation www.jdrf.org.
