May 20, 2006 -  DHRacers LLC, riding for Team Honda Iron Horse, participated in its fifth American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure charity ride in Long Beach, CA. The team is very passionate about this event and cause. Diabetes has had a very pronounced impact on the team. On July 7^th 2003, team manager Doug Heiser donated a kidney to his wife Lori. Lori lost all kidney function due to her 35-year battle with Juvenile onset Diabetes.  Team Honda Iron Horse would like to thank everyone for sponsoring the participants in the 2006 Southern California Tour de Cure, which included Frank Blaha and Doug and Lori Heiser. Thanks to our sponsors’ help and generous support, Team Honda Iron Horse exceeded their 2006 goal and raised over $2000.00. This year’s tour wound 38 miles throughout the beautiful beach communities of Long Beach, Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach.  We’re so grateful for all of your support, which brought us one step closer to achieving the team’s fund-raising goal. We would also like to thank the team sponsors for providing such great equipment to ride for such a great cause.  The team would also like to thank you on behalf of the American Diabetes Association and the 20.8 million Americans who suffer from diabetes. Your generous gift to Team Honda Iron Horse made and will continue to make a huge difference in the fight against this deadly disease.
