Starting tomorrow I will ride for this virtual event. Over the past few years the ride and my WHY have changed.
When I started, this was my first 2 day charity ride. I showed up with Walmart shirts, only one pair of bike shorts & a hand me down bike. (Thank you Robbin!) My WHY was to honor & support family & friends with lung disease including a young friend who had just died from lung cancer.
My WHY became about me when I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma. It's been a tough few years of steroids, multiple inhalers, lots of medications & environmental changes. Happily, I can still ride just differently.
So - between 9/21 - 9/27, I will get some smiles & miles in each day to support this charity!
===================================================
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!
