Cyclebetes go MAD – Day 24 – Speak Out!

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Speak out for what you believe in! We each have the responsibility to speak out and make our voices heard! Some are more comfortable speaking out others.

So for those of us who need an action plan…here goes:
Make a list of 10 things you could do to make your voice heard (ie call a phone in program, send an email, write a letter to the editor) I recently read one of the best Letters to the Editor in my local paper it was written by a boy in grade 6 who related his experience at We Day in Vancouver. In closing he said, ”Together WE CAN make a difference and as of today I’m working on  it!” I have the piece tacked to the bulletin board my office.

Create a diary of what you’ve done including dates and details – If you do not get a response – try again – be assertive! Get something broadcast or published once a month (*hint you could start your own blog!)

Seeing is Believing

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.

As a reader of this blog you have chosen to join us on this journey – thank you for believing as we do that we can do!  We are honoured by your support.

Keep Believing.
