Virtual Trek

Welcome, Trekker!

On behalf of the American Lung Association and more than 258,000 people in Maine living with lung disease - welcome to the Cycle Your Way Virtual or our Actual Trek Across Maine.

This year, we’re taking the Trek Across Maine inside, outside and around the world! We're moving onward and upward, safely and responsibly, so that we can make an impact now to ensure a healthier future for all.

Why we Trek

More than 36 million Americans suffer from chronic lung disease.
From 2019 to 2022, e-cigarette use skyrocketed among high school e-cigarette users (from 2.4% to 55.8%) and middle school e-cigarette users (from 3% to 43.8%).
Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of men and women in the United States.
Asthma is the 3rd leading cause of hospitalization among children
More than 4 in 10 people live where pollution levels frequently make the air too dangerous to breathe.
