In 2006, Mari Ruddy rode in a Tour de Cure and asked the question, "Where are all the riders with diabetes?" Living with type 1 diabetes for more than 30 years, she wanted to talk to others like her with diabetes and celebrate everyone that was taking control of their health. In 2007, Mari Ruddy, Sandria Barrett & Marcey Robinson came up with the idea of the Red Riders and made that idea come to life at the Denver, CO, Tour de Cure that year. Now the Red Riders and Team Red are a part of every Tour de Cure in the nation and they want you to get involved and be proud to be a Red Rider!
