My father died from lung cancer at the age of 39. Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of men and women in the United States, and more than 36 million Americans suffer from chronic lung disease.

This will be my 6th year participating in the three day 180 mile Trek Across Maine bike ride on Fathers Day weekend to support the American Lung Association's efforts and important work.

I am joining hundreds 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 would be grateful for any personal or corporate tax-deductible financial donation you would be willing to make to support my efforts, and the important work of the American Lung Association.

Thank you in advance for you support!
