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.

Many years ago I was afflicted with Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis), a serious lung infection.  Fortunately I was treated successfully though it did leave me with a permanent reduction of about 5% in my overall lung function.  Many other serious diseases also affect the lungs, which is why I am grateful for the broad-based research and care supported by the American Lung Association.

Lung diseases including lung cancer, asthma and emphysema are the third leading cause of 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!
