I have never participated in a fundraiser like this one! I am a little late getting my fundraising going but...It is a first for me to train and ride on a road race bike! I suggested I join Pam Powers and was happily surprised (and a little scared) she said, "Yes, I will get the bikes tuned up!" :) I ride in memory of Jeff Powers, a great guy that started Bigelow Brewing Co with Pam by his side. From high school friends to craft beer buddies...they just don't make them like him any more. BE LIKE JEFF.
I am hoping my friends will help make my first attempt at this a successful one! Pray I do not lose control on the downhills...my first ride was definitely a learning curve. I did not fall as I was learning the shift gears so that was a WIN and this biking experience is EXTREMELY different than mountain biking! haha
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!
