I am joining thousands of other cyclists and the American Lung Association to raise money to treat and prevent 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 death in the United States.
In 2022, I felt the impact of this first hand when lung cancer took the life of my sister, Wendy, an otherwise healthy, active 61 year old. As she did before her illness, this year, I'm riding for the third time, in the 40th anniversary of the Trek Across Maine for charity.
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!
