Trek 2022 will be my fourth ride and I'm really excited to be back on the route after a 2-year Covid hiatus! This year, more than ever, the whole world understands the importance of lung health. Living on the coast of Maine we have the luxury of breathing clean air every day. Many Americans, especially those living in large urban areas, are not so lucky.

Once again I ride for three fabulous ladies who touched my life and all passed away with complications from lung-related diseases since I rode my first Trek in 2017. These ladies are my mother, Norma Doremus (pulmonary artery hypertension); my great aunt Elaine Polyasko (COPD); and Jean Kane, the mother of my dear friend Joe (lung cancer). It is a privilege to have the good health to be able to ride in honor of these great ladies.

Please join me in my efforts to make a difference by making a personal or corporate tax-deductible donation. Ask your HR Department about matching gifts and see your donation double in support of my efforts and the mission of the American Lung Association.

Thank you in advance for your support!!
