Dear Family and Friends,
I am riding in the 2024 Reach the Beach event
Six years ago (I think - keeping track of such details is becoming more challenging) I rode the 70 mile course but this year I'll be riding either the 25 mile or 44 mile course, depending on the range of my new electric bike (and on the “range” of my legs, lungs and butt). The combination of the e-bike and my pacemaker has enabled me to ride again and I want to make the most of it.
As always I am riding to support the ALA. Thanks to the generous donors who have supported me, I have been one of the top individual fund raisers for the last few RTB events. I am also riding to again honor Pat❤ who provided essential support when I rode in the earlier RTB Washington events.
I am joining hundreds of other Washington cyclists to help the ALA raise money to fight lung disease and increase awareness about the importance of lung health. Lung disease is the third leading cause of death in the USA.
So once again I am asking you to make a tax-deductible donation to "Team Dean" (my own invention, the Monoteam). Any amount helps and is totally appreciated by me and the ALA.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Dean Sampson
