As we embark on this journey together, it’s important for me to share why this cause is so personal. On July 2, 2020, my life and health changed forever when I tested positive for COVID-19. Since then, I’ve been dealing with the challenges of being a COVID long-hauler, facing permanent lung damage that requires daily medication and treatments.

The funds we raise will remain in our community, supporting the Tampa Bay Area. By joining thousands of cyclists and the American Lung Association, I am committed to raising money to combat lung disease and raise awareness about lung health.

Lung disease can profoundly impact a person’s life, affecting their ability to work, exercise, and enjoy life. It is one of the fastest-growing major illnesses and includes conditions such as lung cancer, asthma, and emphysema. Lung disease is now the third leading cause of death in the United States.

I invite you to support this cause by making a personal or corporate tax-deductible donation. Together, we can make a significant difference.

Thank you for your support!
