We just got word from the International Diabetes Federation that they liked our proposal to do a drive-a-thon fundraiser for diabetes research as part of our Baja 1000 race.

Several Class 11 teams did fundraisers in 2006. Because diabetes is a factor in the lives of several members of the team, we felt we should look on the race as an opportunity to raise money for diabetes research and awareness.

The first World Diabetes Day occurs November, 14, 2007, the first day of the Baja 1000. It’s a perfect synergy.

More on this to come.
