My first motor vehicle was [...]

Finding a cure for diabetes became VERY personal to me on October 29, 2007. That was the day that my then 8 year old son, Connor, (pictured below at his 2012 – 8th Grade Graduation) was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Burlington Vermont Ride

The CDSMC ride to Burlington was an eventful trip by any measure. The weather was perfect. We had 6 riders meet in Latham to begin the 140 mile trek up North and picked up our 7th along the way. Roughly one hour into the trip, one of our riders collided with a horse trailer. What [...]
