My dad lived with only one lung after a horrible car accident, and the doctors didn't know how long he would even live. My mother was a smoker for decades, which shortened her life after a stroke. So I think about my mom and dad while cycling, and I am joining thousands of other cyclists and the American Lung Association to raise money to fight lung disease and increase awareness about the importance of lung health.

Lung disease can take someone's breath away, leaving them unable to work, exercise or play. 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 you support!
