I am riding in the JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes fund-raiser for diabetes research in January 2013.  I would encourage others with an interest in diabetes to do likewise.  It is an Australia-wide event but is held in South Australia's Barossa each January and over the last 9 years has raised over $8million.  This will be the 10th Ride to Cure Diabetes and the 5th time that I'll be riding.  For more details re registering to ride see the JDRF web site, or to make a tax-deductible donation go to http://ride.jdrf.org.au/GlenThompson.
