Why We Ride

The Trek Across Maine raises funds to support the mission and life saving work of the American Lung Association. We are continuing to support initiatives with focus areas including:

COVID-19 Action Initiative

• Our key areas of focus in this initiative are providing free lung health education and masks to those in need, advocating for flu and COVID vaccines, and working to prevent future outbreaks by investing in respiratory virus research.

Tobacco Free Future

• In 2020, we kicked off a national End the Youth Vaping Epidemic initiative, aimed at ending youth vaping with an integrated, multi-component approach to support parents, schools and students.

Defeating Lung Cancer

• Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer in the United States. Over the past 5 years there has been a dramatic increase in the survival rate of lung cancer from 13% to 22.6% - and the American Lung Association continues to lead in increasing awareness, funding research and providing education for patients and caregivers.

Thank you for supporting healthy lungs and clean air, because when you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.
