Let's promote healthy lungs FOR ALL!!~~~Super excited to ride with my friends and raise awareness and dollars for the American Lung Association. Some folks will be doing an impressive 100 miles of riding but I've opted for the pleasant 56 miles of bike riding (to better enjoy the sites and sounds from Amity to Pacific City, Oregon). Any amount of support will help us collectively reach many goals. I have never owned a car and I ABSOLUTELY do not go without my bicycle anywhere I've lived whether it's hilly Portland, rural North Carolina, Snowy Syracuse or hectic New York City. I encourage everyone who is able to, to safely ride their bicycle for errands, commuting, leisure and fun whenever they can or simply give a shout out or donate to participants committed to the Reach the Beach ride 2022.

Here's the official spiel Below!

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.
