I am joining thousands of other cyclists and the American Lung Association to raise money to fight lung disease. Fortunately this ride offers shorter routes for beginners like me: I’m riding either the 26-mile route (minimum goal) or the 44-mile (stretch goal) route.
My mom lived with COPD for more than a decade. As the disease progressed, she fought hard to maintain her health and independence. Even in the dead of winter, she drove herself to COPD-rehab treadmill sessions at a hospital several towns away. I lost my mom in 2023, but I will forever be inspired by her.
Growing faster than almost any other major illness, lung disease, including lung cancer, asthma and emphysema is the third leading cause of the death in the United States.
Please join me in my efforts to make a difference by making a personal or corporate tax-deductible donation.
Thank you in advance for your support!
