My name is Jim Bradley, KB1JKJ, from the North Shore Radio Association. We’ve been asked to assist with the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure charity ride in Lexington, MA on Sunday, August 18th, and we need your help to make it a success!
We’re looking for ham radio operators to fill two important roles:
- SAG (Support and Gear) Drivers: Use your own vehicle to transport cyclists and their bikes if needed, and patrol the route to assist riders with any issues.
- Rest Stop Communications: Help us maintain communication with the Command Center, providing updates on rest stop status and any assistance needed.
The event details are as follows:
- Tour de Cure New England https://tour-diabetes.

Whether you’re a seasoned public service volunteer or looking to gain experience in this area, we welcome your participation! This is a great opportunity to support a worthy cause and learn more about the public service aspect of ham radio.
If you’re interested in volunteering, please email me with your preferred role (SAG driver or rest stop communications) and sign up on the volunteer website. https://signup.com/
I’ll send out more details and assignments closer to the event date.
