Hello everyone. Let me tell you why I am riding. I have been participating in fundraising events since elementary school with Jump Rope for Heart being the first ever. We were able to go door to door asking for ten cent pledges. Since, I have participated in walks, runs, bikes, triathlons, volleyball tournaments for cancers, diseases and MS causes, you name it.
Let me tell you something I have; I have the ability to participate in such events. Where people who have encountered such struggles, I have the ability to help. Whether in a physical capacity or simply donating time or dollars, it is rewarding to participate. Of course, I do enjoy the physical aspects and the challenges.
So, here I am knocking on your door asking for donations. 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.
I am very excited and currently training for the Challenge. So, 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!
