Hello everyone!! only one more day !!!My sister Christy is doing the ‪#‎TourDeCure‬ bike ride for Diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family - sad but true. My pawpaw is losing his foot due to Diabetes as we speak.... My sister has decided to do what she can and try to help the cause. My dad is borderline - grandma is diabetic and two aunts are also borderline - so this bike ride means a lot to us and all the other families that have been changed due to Diabetes. Also, my sisters boyfriend is a diabetic and has to give himself daily shots. Emoticon  If you guys even have 5 or 10 dollars to spare to help hit her goal by Thursday - ANYTHING is greatly appreciated - click the link to go to her personal page - she explains her reasoning for wanting to do this!! thanks!! PLEASE AT LEAST SHARE this with your facebook friends! thank you in advance!!http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TourAdmin?px=10168203&ampEmoticong=personal&fr_id=9396 4951

Ummmmm not cool. I understand fund raising- but this is SPAM!!! I am an avid cyclist and raise money for many charities- I've even donated to this particular cause- but it's not cool to join a board and spam for donations- I'm flagging it 4951

Ok Thanks-?i don't agree with it- but if it's the rules it's the rules. I do a charity ride almost every month I'll keep it in mind.I don't raise personal money for my rides either- but don't feel the need to come on boards and ask strangers for $$ 4951

Not being hateful As I said I am very active in doing fundraiser rides. I think people would tire of me coming on her asking to donate to all my causes.
Tour ed Cure
MS150
Ride for the Roses
Tour de Pink
Humble Lions Ride
Bike Around the Bay
I could go on but you get the point. I hope your sister rides well 4951

@Katherinedenise: she wasn't being hateful. We get a lot and I mean a lot of spam and fake donation pleads on the forums. It make us a little defensive at times. Hope you raise a lot. I'm diet controlled diabetic.

thanks - well if the link was clicked - it would be obvious it wasn't fake or fraudulent .. as far as "coming on every time I do a fundraiser"  well not everyone does these all the time - so I simply thought that posting this would be a good thing... showing people that we do care!  but I am sorry for thinking so.   Next time I will refrain from it. I just hate how all of this social media stuff always has to be so negative - people go on here all the time and just complain and put each other down.  I was simply trying to raise awareness and get a little money donated to the diabetes fund.   sorry for not thinking it this far through!!   People do the ALS challenge all over the place and don't get bashed for it?  sorry for the inconvenience... 4951

Look- please stop being so emotional and read this with some objectivity- KDC cleared this up for me- now you need to let it go.
I am very experienced at raising funds for charities ( Tour de Cure) being one of many. I flagged it as I personally don't think it's cool to join a board just to solicit for a charity. My point is I wouldn't think of hitting up KDC for $$ every time I do a ride. I didn't for Tour De Cure either. I really do understand that raising $$$ for these rides takes work and it's not cheap.
I really hope your sister does well- which route is she doing? I have team members on the 63 and the 105.
Please stay and join our little family- that way when you post for donations you'll get a more positive response. 4951

I did not join this just to post asking for money... I have been a member for a long time... and been apart of the boards/forums for a long time - however I do not like posting in forums... because of the exact reason at hand... im not sure what route they are doing... her and her co workers have a huge team riding together.   the link takes you to her page but you can see her team page as well...

I think we should have a catagory for begging.  That way everyone who wants money from strangers for whatever reason will have a place to post and the main forum will not be cluttered up. 4951
