Todd Kluever began his racing career riding motorcycles on dirt-oval tracks in and around Wisconsin. Now he is using his love for motorcycles to raise money to fight diabetes. Kluever, driver of the No. 16 3M Roush Fenway Racing Ford in the NASCAR Busch Series, is hosting the first annual “Todd Kluever Ride To Cure Diabetes” on Sunday, June 24, 2007. The event will be a day-long motorcycle ride which will begin at Capital City Harley-Davidson in Madison, Wisc., and end at Nora’s Tavern in nearby Deerfield, Wisc.
All proceeds will benefit the American Diabetes Association and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. With this event Kluever is able to combine his passion for motorcycles with his aspiration to raise money for diabetes research, a cause that hits close to home. Todd’s older brother, Tim, was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of nine, and ever since then Kluever has wanted to do something to support the cause. “I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time, ” Kluever said. “It wasn’t until I bought a Harley recently that I decided to put together a motorcycle ride to raise money for diabetes.
