Newspaper article about my bike ride

Just a quick note. My local newspaper the Lowell Sun published an article about my bike ride on Sunday. If you'd like to read it, it's available on the web, and I also scanned it in. And I'm still taking donations for the ride. ;-)

Update: I forgot to point out that my good friend Manny, who is the mover and shaker behind TuDiabetes.com, did all the heavy lifting on this article. He sent out a press release to several local papers for me and generated the interest that led to the article. Thanks Manny, you're a star.

In a strange and somewhat sad coincidence the facing page has an obituary for a 29-year old who died from diabetes complications. I think folks without diabetes don't realize this happens.

I'll post pictures from the ride next week.

Good luck on your ride!

: Name: Bernard Farrell; Location: Massachusetts, United States

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I wear a Cozmo 1800 insulin pump and a Dexcom SEVEN CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
