Believe
Accu-Chek Cyclebetes blog followers know that Accu-Chek Cyclebetes was created as a legacy for Team H2V to carry forth the promise of Kyle Balagno and to honor and celebrate the accomplishment of the 5 man team who, against all odds and a thundering chorus of naysayers, cycled across Canada in 8 days.
The depth of what we dreamed you may not know.
We wanted to transform people in the same way we had been transformed as part of the Team H2V group. We wanted others to experience being part of something big that hadn’t been done. To believe that anything is possible if you amass a team of like minded ‘can do’ people and keep pushing. We wanted to touch youth and allow them to grow and reach a potential beyond what they thought they could…
…so two years ago we dared to dream that the legacy would have far reaching impact. Today we are one step closer with the announcement of the Accu-Chek Cyclebetes Endowment Fund.
The Accu-Chek Cyclebetes Endowment Fund and Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship Program
Youth leadership and delivering on a promise to accelerate a cure for juvenile diabetes are the cornerstones of CAccu-Chek yclebetes. Building the Leaders of Tomorrow through a Accu-Chek Cyclebetes Endowment Fund will allow for continued, long term investment in our student leaders. Ten percent of all dollars raised through Accu-Chek Cyclebetes Spin-a-Thons will support the endowment fund which will offer deserving youth scholarships for outstanding leadership, overcoming adversity and community contribution. Participating schools and students will be able to apply for funds to support their ongoing initiatives.
