Another year, another Trek Across Maine... my 10th year participating in this great event for a great cause, The American Lung Association. It has meaning close to my heart due to my mother's COPD battle of many years... that she lost in May of 2011.  I miss her each and every day.

I try not to take things for granted... but being able to breathe without struggling is not something most of us ever think about. I do now... certainly riding a bike 180 miles gives me a sense... I am blessed.

Please consider supporting me... donations of ANY amount are welcome. I am thankful for all contributions. I will donate 3 days of my "free" time and am glad to do so. It is always such a fantastic event and fun time!

Please remember that your employer may offer a matching gift program for your donation! The TaxID and address has changed... Be sure to choose the American Lung Association (Tax ID/EIN: 13-1632524, 55 W. Wacker Drive, Suite 1150, Chicago, IL 60601) for the matching gift and remember to include my name and Trekker #524.

With best wishes and thanks,

Patti
